New Broken Coast Summer Launch Expands the Brand’s Premium Craft Lineup Alongside an Elevated Packaging Redesign
TORONTO, May 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tilray Brands, Inc. ("Tilray" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: TLRY; TSX: TLRY), a global lifestyle and consumer packaged goods company at the forefront of the cannabis, beverage, and wellness industries, today announced the launch of Cherry Ztripez, a new premium craft cannabis strain under its Broken Coast brand. Arriving just in time for summer, Cherry Ztripez expands the brand’s curated portfolio with a new indica‑dominant offering defined by small‑batch cultivation, meticulous finishing, and a consistent, high‑quality expression from harvest to shelf.
Summer brings a shift in pace, longer evenings, and more intentional moments of consumption. With Cherry Ztripez, Broken Coast leans into the season with a release that reflects its refined approach to craft cannabis, pairing thoughtful genetics with disciplined cultivation and a measured, detail‑driven process.
Blair MacNeil, President, Tilray Canada, stated, “Broken Coast has always been grounded in premium craft quality -from genetics and cultivation through to the final product experience. Cherry Ztripez builds on that foundation with a new strain that reflects the quality, consistency, and care consumers expect from the brand. As we move into the summer season, this launch allows us to further meet demand for premium, thoughtfully produced cannabis while continuing to strengthen Broken Coast’s position within the category.”
Cherry Ztripez is an indica-dominant strain derived from Lemon Cherry x Z Animal, cultivated in strain-specific, laboratory-grade rooms and produced using Broken Coast’s signature process. Each batch is hang-dried, cold-cured, carefully milled and hand-packaged, ensuring a consistent and high-quality expression from harvest to shelf.
Broken Coast Cherry Ztripez will be available through licensed cannabis retailers in Canada in 7g whole flower, with a 1 x 1g blunt format launching at the end of May, and additional pre‑roll formats expected later this summer.
The launch also builds on Broken Coast’s recently refreshed packaging, designed to improve transparency and elevate the in‑store experience while maintaining the brand’s premium, craft‑forward identity. Updates include refined glass jars, enhanced product visibility across larger formats, and the introduction of Grower’s Notes—providing insight into each strain’s lineage, cultivation approach, and defining characteristics.
Canadian cannabis products are produced and distributed by Aphria Inc., a licensed producer under the Cannabis Act.
