The Beginning

Our Approach

Our Approach

March 2020: In the midst of lockdown, physicist Cameron Bravo, PhD, begins tinkering with drink concoctions in his spare time. His former UCLA physics colleague Krishna Choudhary, PhD, becomes the willing test pilot. After years of experimentation, data analysis, and theoretical formulation, they begin to realize:

these drinks are really, really, really good.

March 2024: That quarantine side-project has evolved into Standard Model Beverages, named after the Standard Model of Particle Physics. Cameron and Krishna team up with Cameron’s childhood friend, Robert Newman, an operations whiz who knows manufacturing as well as the scientists know quarks.

Their shared mission: prove that science is not just for understanding the universe and our place in it, but for enhancing it - one perfectly balanced beverage at a time.

Our Philosophy

Our Core Principles

Our Core Principles

Standard Model Beverages is the delicious collision of curiosity, creativity, and chemistry. Inspired by the fundamental framework that explains the particles of our universe, we set out to create something equally foundational for everyday life: a drink that hits all the right notes—complex, balanced, and irresistibly satisfying.


Every can is crafted with scientific rigor and a touch of mischief, backed by real lab testing, wild flavor experiments, and late-night debates about fizz dynamics. We’re not just building a beverage brand—we’re building a Standard Model for how good drinks should taste.

Every can pays tribute to a legendary scientist—because we stand on the shoulders of giants, and sometimes, they deserve a drink too.


Welcome to the quantum leap in refreshment.

Standard Model Beverages:
Scientifically Delicious.
