In the competitive landscape of the cannabis beverage category, Not Your Father's Root Beer has shown a consistent upward trajectory in California. Starting from a rank of 6 in December 2024, the brand improved its position to rank 4 by March 2025. This steady climb in rankings is indicative of a growing consumer preference for their products within the state.

While Not Your Father's Root Beer has made strides in California, it's important to note that the brand's presence in other states or provinces is not highlighted within the top 30 rankings for the specified period. This absence could indicate either a strategic focus on California or potential challenges in scaling their operations across different markets. The lack of ranking data for other regions suggests a need for further exploration into their market penetration strategies outside of California. Understanding how the brand plans to expand or optimize its performance in other regions could provide valuable insights into its future growth prospects.
