Today we’d like to introduce you to Kyle Schiedemeyer.

Hi Kyle, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?

I’ve been an entrepreneur at heart for as long as I can remember. My little brother and I were always coming up with side hustles as kids, trying to find ways to make money and build something of our own. That drive, combined with the discipline I learned from playing sports, shaped my mindset: if I don’t quit, I won’t fail.

Birdie Bombs wasn’t some long-planned business idea, it was a random moment that just clicked. I was playing a round of golf with a group of grandmas after a buddy bailed on me, and when I bought them beers, one of them called it “birdie juice.” That stuck with me, and I realized there was nothing on the market designed for those celebratory moments on the course.

I decided to take the idea and run with it, and it’s been a blast ever since. We’ve grown fast, landed a key distribution deal in my home state of Wisconsin, and even secured an investment on Entrepreneur Elevator Pitch. It’s been a wild ride, but I know as long as I keep pushing forward, Birdie Bombs is going to be a massive success.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?

It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road, but I knew that going in. The alcohol industry is one of the most regulated spaces out there, and learning how to navigate licensing, approvals, and the three-tier system was like drinking from a firehose. Every state has its own rules, timelines, and hurdles, which made expansion a slow grind.

Manufacturing was another challenge. Finding a reliable producer that could deliver quality, scale with us, and still make financial sense took a ton of trial and error. Packaging was its own beast… designing something unique while keeping costs down and staying compliant with alcohol regulations wasn’t as simple as throwing shots in a box and calling it a day.

Then there’s distribution. The three-tier system means we can’t just sell directly to golf courses and retailers, we have to go through distributors, which adds another layer of negotiation, relationships, and red tape. It’s been a grind figuring it all out, but that’s part of the game.

As you know, we’re big fans of Birdie Bombs. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?

Birdie Bombs is built for golfers who know the best rounds aren’t just about the scorecard, they’re about the experience. We took the tradition of celebrating a great golf shot with a drink and turned it into something golfers can grab, share, and enjoy on the course. What sets us apart is that we’re not just another alcohol brand trying to fit into golf, we’re a golf brand that understands the culture and made a product that belongs in every bag. I’m most proud of how quickly we’ve built something that resonates with golfers and how the brand has taken off purely through word of mouth and demand. We’re growing fast, expanding into more states, and proving that Birdie Bombs isn’t just a gimmick, it’s becoming part of the game.

Where do you see things going in the next 5-10 years?

The alcohol industry is shifting toward convenience, premiumization, and experiential drinking, with ready-to-drink products continuing to grow. In golf, the game is becoming more social, with a shift away from the traditional country club vibe toward a more fun, inclusive experience. Over the next decade, alcohol brands will integrate deeper into golf through course partnerships, exclusive offerings, and more innovative on-course beverages. The three-tier system will still be a challenge, but consumer demand will drive new ways to bring products to market. Birdie Bombs is built for this evolution, creating a culture around celebration, camaraderie, and fun that fits perfectly into where golf is headed.
