IBC Root Beer is a brand of root beer produced by Keurig Dr Pepper. It was first introduced in 1919 by the Independent Breweries Company (IBC) of St. Louis, Missouri. The brand is known for its rich, creamy flavor and is often sold in distinctive brown glass bottles.

History

IBC Root Beer was created by the Independent Breweries Company in 1919, during the Prohibition era in the United States. The company aimed to produce a non-alcoholic beverage that could be enjoyed by the public during a time when alcoholic beverages were banned. The root beer quickly gained popularity due to its high-quality ingredients and unique taste.

In the years following Prohibition, IBC Root Beer continued to be a popular choice among consumers. The brand changed ownership several times, eventually being acquired by Keurig Dr Pepper.

Ingredients

IBC Root Beer is made using a blend of high-quality ingredients, including:

• Carbonated water
• High fructose corn syrup
• Caramel color
• Sodium benzoate (preservative)
• Natural and artificial flavors
• Citric acid

Packaging

IBC Root Beer is traditionally sold in brown glass bottles, which help to preserve the flavor and carbonation of the beverage. The brand is also available in cans and plastic bottles, but the glass bottle remains the most iconic packaging.

Variants

In addition to the classic root beer flavor, IBC has introduced several other variants over the years, including:

• IBC Diet Root Beer
• IBC Cream Soda
• IBC Black Cherry

Popularity

IBC Root Beer has maintained a loyal following over the decades, thanks to its distinctive taste and nostalgic packaging. It is often enjoyed on its own or used as a base for root beer floats, a popular dessert made by combining root beer with vanilla ice cream.
