The Monks Brady Co. is a Ready-to-Drink Brandy cocktail company that uses brandy as their base spirit. The Monks Brandy Co. was launched on November 11, 2022, to honor the Veterans who have served this country. Will Rogers, the Monks Founder, a combat war veteran, himself, describes serving in uniform was one of the greatest honors of his life. The company’s name was inspired by the French translation of “Des Moines” which means “The Monks” highlighting its deep local roots. The Monks products are locally made and packaged in Des Moines. It is sold in grocery stores, select restaurants and bars across Central Iowa. The Monks Brandy Co. is just beginning its journey with plans to expand into other markets in 2025.
