Born and brewed on Long Island, Sail Away Coffee Co. makes ready-to-drink cold brew and oat-milk lattes built around a proprietary Central American blend. The brand grew from founder Christopher Vetter’s touring-musician years and kitchen experiments into a New York beverage company whose cold brew has been sold through farmers’ markets, grocery shelves, foodservice accounts, and concert arenas for more than 10 years. Its canned brews are known for a smooth, chocolate-toned finish and lower acidity than standard hot coffee.
