ABOUT MCGOWANS BEVERAGES

McGowan’s Olde Tyme beverages are unique blends of juices, teas, and spices designed to conjure the season they represent, as well as foster good memories and promote a sense of tradition, family and well-being.  Drinks are non-alcoholic (children are our favorite people!) and designed to be enjoyed as produced (chai and wassail are good hot!) and can also be mixed with a wide range of adult spirits.  

McGowan’s Beverages are produced exclusively by and for the Colorado Wassail Company, Castle Rock. Colorado.  (Wassail, by the way, is our flagship product!)

Our Story

The Colorado Wassail Company was started in 2015 by Greg Polashock, whose family has been enjoying wassail as a holiday tradition across four generations.  After much positive feedback from sharing his drink with friends and acquaintances for over 25 years, demand for this unique wintertime beverage led to the creation of the Colorado Wassail Company.
