We set out to rethink beer, merging tradition with innovation to craft something truly unique.
The result? The first American beer brewed entirely with quinoa — crisp, balanced, and refreshingly unexpected.
Crisp Perfection
Meli isn’t your typical beer.
With a refreshing, bright taste and just a hint of sweetness (minus the sugar), it’s effortlessly uplifting and perfect for game nights, afternoons at the beach, pre-theater sips, and everything in between.
Whether you're a beer enthusiast or usually reach for a glass of white, Meli's crisp, light flavor is sure to delight.
a smarter choice
Crafted with the finest ingredients, Meli incorporates nutrient-rich organic quinoa (a grain that’s gluten free, high in protein, and packed with vitamins and minerals), anti-inflammatory hop flowers, and gluten free yeast.
Add water and a lot of care, and you have Meli: a beer that’s naturally gluten free, sugar free, non-GMO, and vegan. At 4.4% ABV, it’s a clean, easy drinker that inspires you to savor the moment and enjoy exploring what's next.

growing integrity
At Meli, we’re committed to making a difference — starting with our ingredients. Our organic quinoa is sourced from ethical suppliers, ensuring that our beer doesn’t just taste clean, but is also crafted with integrity. Quinoa requires just 12.5 inches of water per acre to grow, far less than barley’s 21.6 inches. This water-saving benefit is just one way we reduce our environmental impact.
To further minimize our footprint, we opt for printed cans instead of labels or sleeves, so when you’ve had every last drop from your can, you can put it in the recycling bin, not send it to the landfill.
With every sip, you’re not only supporting your own wellbeing, but the planet’s too. We’re doing things differently to create change, and we’re proud to have you along for the journey.
