Thank you to our generous beverage sponsors:

Neat: Neat was started by two childhood best friends, Michael and Perry. As Asian Americans, we fell in love with soju after being introduced by our Korean friends. Not only was it easy to drink and delicious, but we made some of our best memories with it - late nights hanging out with friends, pregames in NYC’s Koreatown, and pairing it with amazing food. As we’ve gotten older, we feel that the mainstream, imported Korean sojus are becoming too sweet and artificial. The hangovers are not getting any better either. After one too many nights with the infamous green bottles, we set out to make a version that kept the same easy drinkability but made with real fruit flavors. Neat is so uniquely tied to our Asian American identity, and we wanted it to be a brand that represented us. We're a shareable soju cocktail that pays homage to a drink we know and love, but made with less sugar and all natural flavors.

Nguyen Coffee Supply: Nguyen Coffee Supply is America's first specialty Vietnamese coffee company and proud champion of the resilient robusta bean. They import through direct-trade relationships with Vietnamese farmers and roast in Brooklyn, New York. Founded in 2018 by 1st generation entrepreneur Sahra Nguyen, they're on a mission to change the future of coffee through diversity, sustainability and cultural integrity.

Moshi Sparking Water: NYC is widely considered one of the most diverse cities in the world, with people, music, and FOOD from all over! After several years of cooking in some of the top restaurants in the city, Founder Alton But noticed that the non-alcoholic beverage pairings could have been more inspiring. NYC has some of the best Asian cuisines outside of Asia, only for the meals to be paired with the same old sodas and soft drinks that every other restaurant in the city carries. What if you wanted something different? What if you wanted something authentic? What if you wanted an Asian drink to go with Asian food? A year later, in 2020, Alton and his team made it their mission to change this; They launched Moshi, a beverage brand made with unique Asian ingredients to pair with the Asian cuisine we all know and love.
