THOMAS KEMPER

The first Thomas Kemper Root Beer was brewed by Andy Thomas and Will Kemper (local Northwest beermeisters) back in 1990. They wanted to serve a cool alternative to beer at their Oktoberfest celebration. It quickly became so popular they had to invent Novemberfest. Now you’ll find Thomas Kemper all over the West (and everywhere else if you look hard enough) – thanks to a lot of great stores and restaurants that share the best of taste.

POM LIGHT TEA HIBISCUS

REVOLUTION 3D PINK GRAPEFRUIT

Revolution’s 3D has a new flavor, Pink Grapefruit, which also introduces a couple of other changes to the brand. First, the flavor of the drink has a more pronounced tea flavor, giving the product the “multi dimensional” feeling that it claims to be going for. The fruit flavor hits your tongue second, but it’s pretty mild compared to what you’ll generally find in products that feature grapefruit juice as an ingredient. That’s fine by us, especially since the final flavor to hit your tongue is agave, which, along with sugar, gives the drink it’s moderate level of sweetness and aids its slightly earthy finish. The drink also has added B vitamins and vitamin C, just in case flavor and antioxidants aren’t enough to convince you.
