Our Story

Caleb Woods is the founder of Fuel Corps Solutions LLC, a micromarketing and vending company established in 2023. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Mississippi State University and is the creator of the Fuel Corps beverage line named Essense. The idea originated from a conversation between Caleb and his father, Earl Woods. They discussed the need for a beverage option with zero percent alcohol but with more sophistication than typical soft drinks. After much searching, his father suggested, “Well, why don’t you make your own?” From that point, Caleb devoted significant time to research and development, group sensory tasting sessions, and door-to-door restaurant visits to bring Essense to the market.

Essense Craft Beverages maintains the integrity of being produced without any alcohol (fermentation) at any stage of production, making it the perfect option for those who do not wish to consume alcohol, including pregnant women. Essense also appeals to individuals who have never consumed alcohol but desire a classy, refreshing beverage. We label Essense as No Alcohol Ever (NAE). The beverage line includes an assortment of flavors: Essense Original, Peach, Artisan, Citrus, Barista, Tropica and Berry. Each refresher is malt-based and delivers naturally hinted, sophisticated notes. Essense Craft Beverages offers a unique and unforgettable experience that will leave you eagerly anticipating your next encounter!
