About Liquid Death

Liquid Death is a healthy beverage company with ice-cold sustainable cans designed to murder your thirst.

Founded in January of 2019 and based in Los Angeles, California, Liquid Death is one of the nation’s fastest growing beverage brands taking a completely unnecessary approach to canned water and iced teas. Unnecessary things tend to be far more interesting, fun, hilarious, captivating, memorable, exciting, and cult-worthy. Taking the world’s healthiest beverage and making it just as unnecessarily entertaining as the unhealthy brands has put Liquid Death on the map for LinkedIn's Top Startups 2022, Contagious's Brand of the Year 2022, Ad Age Top Marketer of the Year 2022, and Medium’s cult-worthy brands among other accolades.

As Liquid Death continues to bring unnecessarily awesome beverage options to more people, Liquid Death is equally as excited to promote and help fund alternative art, music, and entertainment alongside the brand.
