Over the weekend, I was surprised to find 12-oz. glass bottles of Bubble Up and Dad's Root Beer in a World Market store in Winston-Salem, NC.

It seems that these drinks (and a few more) changed ownership last year.

Dad's Root Beer Company

Yeah, I believe the Bubble Up was purchased from Monarch by Hedinger Brands (which controls Dad's Root Beer).


As for the glass bottle, the one I have notes that it was manufactured under license by Orca Beverage Soda Works.

The bottle that I bought says that it was bottled by Orca "under the authority of the Dad's Root Beer Company."

I hope that these brands find their way back into more of the U.S.
