What Ike N Tina, L.l.c. does

Zony Mash Beer Project, operating under the legal entity Ike N Tina, L.l.c., is a privately held craft brewery and entertainment venue founded in 2019 and headquartered at the historic Gem Theater in New Orleans, Louisiana. The company produces over 40 distinct craft beer offerings — spanning IPAs, sours, porters, lagers, and experimental recipes using non-traditional ingredients such as local coffee, carrot juice, dragon fruit, coriander, and butterfly pea — alongside a Zony Pop sub-brand of spiked seltzers targeting gluten-free drinkers. Distribution flows through a 21-tap on-site taproom, wholesale to local bars and restaurants throughout New Orleans, take-home canned retail, and a Square-based online storefront.

The business operates a multi-revenue model combining direct beer sales (draft and canned), ticketed live music events in the beer garden, event space rentals, and catering services for events up to 200 guests. The Gem Theater location provides over 20,000 sqft of indoor/outdoor amenities, and the venue is integrated with rotating food vendors (CDCuisine, Southerns Food, Zee's Pizzeria) and recurring local music performers. Marketing is community-driven, centered on Instagram, email newsletter signups, and event-based promotions. The company also partners with the New Orleans Musicians' Assistance Foundation on the Makin' Groceries charitable initiative.

Ownership is founder-controlled: Adam Ritter (Grand Poobah/Owner) and Jen Ritter (Operations/Owner) co-own the business, with Mitch Grittman serving as Head Brewer and additional team members managing cellar operations and events. No external funding, institutional investors, parent companies, or public listing are indicated. The company remains a single-location, New Orleans-centric operation with diversified consumer revenue streams but no documented multi-site expansion.
