Wild Bill's is expanding its range of non-alcoholic craft beverage with seasonal sodas that share the taste of favorite treats. There are three new limited-edition fall flavors to enjoy, including Apple Pie, Pumpkin Spice and Hot Toddy.
For decades, people have been enjoying the nostalgic and comforting flavors of Wild Bill's craft beverages at fairs, festivals and conventions, and now, they are directly available to consumers. The brand made the decision to pivot during the pandemic, and as Wild Bill's CEO Michael Merseburg says, "Our business took an immediate hit last year when events everywhere were cancelled. We've used the time to broaden our business model and bring our products directly to our customers' homes -- something we've always wanted to do."
The brand is also introducing snacks to pair with its beverages in the form of crunchy nuts.
