STEWARTS* - A SUPER-PREMIUM HISTORY
In 1924, Frank Stewart set out to develop the world's best-tasting root beer, which he intended to sell in order to supplement his income as a schoolteacher. With secret recipes in hand, he soon opened his first Stewart's* Drive-In, where he served ice-cold Stewart's* Root Beer in tall, frosty mugs. The creamy taste of Stewart's* Root Beer was an instant success and has been enjoyed by consumers for more than 80 years.
For the first 66 years, Stewart's* Root Beer was only available at Stewart's root beer stands and later, at Stewart's* Drive-Ins. In 1990, Cable Car Beverage Corporation acquired the bottling rights for Stewart's* and began selling Stewart's* Root Beer in 12-oz. amber glass bottles.
Since then, Stewart’s* has continued to grow, with an ever-growing line up of old-fashioned soda fountain flavours. In 1992, Stewart's* Cream Soda and Ginger Beer were introduced. These were followed in 1995 with Stewart’s* Orange n’ Cream, a "creamsicle" in a bottle that helped define Stewart’s* as the leader in flavour innovation for the super-premium, gourmet soda category.
In November of 2000, Stewart's* was sold along with Royal Crown and Snapple Brands to Cadbury Schweppes. Stewart’s* flavours include Root Beer, Orange 'n Cream, Cream Soda, Ginger Beer, Key Lime and Wishniak Black Cherry.
Today, Stewart’s* is part of Plano, Texas-based Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc.
