Empire Bottling Works’ Real Cola
January 12, 2009 - By Bobby Solomon - Category: Design & Food & Drinks
Yesterday was an absolutely beautiful day here in Los Angeles, 81º in the middle of January. So of course I had to go out in shorts and a tee and have a nice outdoor lunch. I headed to one of my favorite places Auntie Em’s cuz’ they have an amazing meatloaf sandwich and their red velvet cupcakes are my favorite in LA.
When I walked through the door I noticed they had some fancy new sodas in a display case, so I decided to try it. It’s called Real Cola and is bottled by Empire Bottling Works, a company based in Bristol, Rhode Island that’s been doing it since 1930. The bottle is way cute, featuring a cupcake on the top, and their phone number on the side, in case you want to order a case. I thought overall the soda was pretty good, not overly sweet and not overly carbonated either. I noticed that BevMo! does sell it online, but they’re sold out for now, so good luck trying to find it!

If you've got something to say, keep it positive.81? wow i’m so jealous! Living here in Chester, England we’ve had a cold patch recently and it’s been constantly around -5!
Cool Cola drink though. :)
they make this on my street! i live on Roma street in Bristol. there is always a truck parked at the top loading crates for delivery. im very suprised it made it all the way to la! it sells super cheap locally, i think i usually pay like 75 cents a bottle. my school teams up with them once every few months and gives them out for free in the dining hall.
cool find!
