Glass Bottle Soda

Most people buy a soda bottle for what's inside the container. Brent Barber takes a more holistic approach to his consumption of fizzy drinks. He appreciates the glass and the way it preserves the essence of the pop—as soda is called in his native Midwest. So he's cataloged 110 pop brands across 29 states, all to share his love of carbonated nectar in crystalline containers. From Ale-8-One to Twig's Sun-Drop, the sodas are listed alphabetically and by brand, but only regional bottlers, not stuff you can find everywhere. This is the place to head if you're craving Pennsylvania Dutch Birch Beer or a bottled Shirley Temple. Discover the taste of Americana with Orca's Bubble-Up, Moxie Original Elixir, Nesbitt, and Quench sodas. Kick back a (presumably) non-alcoholic Havana Mojito. Fortify yourself with Foxon Park's Iron Brew. You can drink case after case of these local brewskies with not an aluminum can in sight.
