BRC Inc.

BRC Inc. is the parent company of Black Rifle Coffee Company, a veteran-founded consumer brand built around premium coffee, ready-to-drink beverages, and branded merchandise. The business operates through an omnichannel model that combines wholesale retail, direct-to-consumer subscriptions and e-commerce, and company-operated Outposts. Its brand identity is closely tied to military, veteran, and first-responder communities, which the company uses to differentiate itself in a crowded beverage market. BRC also relies on in-house media and content creation to support customer acquisition, retention, and community engagement. The company sources green coffee globally but roasts all of its coffee in the United States, while using co-manufacturers for RTD and energy products.
