The Small Town Brewery offers adult root beer and other soda flavors that are creatively mixed with alcohol to offer a mature take on the nostalgic soft drink flavors. Similar to a cocktail, these drinks are ideal for consumers looking to reminisce in their favorite pop flavors with a much more mature ingredient palette.
The Small Town Brewery opts for a slightly tongue-in-cheek and lawless branding with names for its products all beginning with "Not Your Father's..." and finishing with the name of the soda. The drinks range from popular tastes such as ginger ale and root beer, each with a craft beer undertone that is complemented with the sweet and natural taste of the brand's pop.
