Apple Beer. Portrait of President and Ceo Larry Stillman

Almost a century ago Bavarian biermeisters developed our unique formula as an alternative to beer. They blended Sicilian apple with natural herbs and spices calling it “Fassbrause” – the soft drink with a head. This remarkable beverage was prepared and delivered much like beer, in wooden barrels, sitting on the back of a horse-drawn wagon.

In the early 1960s, we brought the drink to the Rocky Mountain. We honored its origins by calling it “Apple Beer” identifying it with other traditional sodas such as root beer and ginger beer.

Apple Beer branding has evolved over the years but we have maintained our commitment to great flavor and high-quality ingredients.

Apple Beer has remained a family-owned company for over four decades.

You can find Apple Beer throughout the western US in grocery stores, restaurants, and specialty markets. See our locator page for more information.
