IBC Cream soda bottle, 12 oz.
History:
The smooth, creamy refreshment of IBC Root Beer was originally developed in 1919 by the Griesedieck family and produced by the Independent Breweries Company in St. Louis.
It was originally developed as an alternative to alcoholic beverages during prohibition but quickly became renowned for its premium quality, satisfying richness and extraordinary great taste.
The Kranzberg family purchased the IBC trademark when the brewery closed and distributed IBC Root Beer from its Northwestern Bottling Co. in St. Louis.
IBC’s popularity grew in the 1920’s and 1930’s and was featured at many top restaurants.
In the late 1930’s, the Kranzbergs sold the IBC trademark and formula to the National Bottling Company, owned by the Shucart family of St. Louis.
In 1976, IBC was sold to Taylor Beverages, who reintroduced IBC Root Beer and expanded distribution.
The revival of IBC Root Beer began when the Seven-UP company purchased Taylor Beverages in 1980 and increased distribution and sales in the Midwest and South.
Dr. Pepper Company purchased the Seven-Up Company in 1986, resulting in nationwide distribution and success for IBC Root Beer.
Throughout the years, the quality of IBC Root Beer has been upheld by retaining the original, secret formula of specially selected roots, herbs and spices and the authentic brown bottle, both of which have been duplicated but never equaled.
