ABOUT US
A Little Fizzy. Very Local. Always Family-Focused.
Since 1921, Reading Soda Works has been adding a little extra sparkle to Reading, Pennsylvania. What began as a small, hometown soda bottling operation has grown into a family-focused craft soda company, community gathering place, and champion of all things local — while staying true to the flavors, values, and people that made us who we are.
We believe soda should be fun, flavorful, and made with care — and that businesses should give back to the communities they serve.
Our Story — Rooted in Tradition, Bubbling With Flavor
For more than a century, Reading Soda Works has been crafting sodas the old-fashioned way. We use pure cane sugar, quality ingredients, and a slow carbonation process that creates smaller bubbles, smoother sips, and long-lasting fizz.
No shortcuts. No mass production. Just thoughtfully crafted soda with a nostalgic feel and a modern twist.
From classic favorites like Birch Beer and Root Beer to bold botanical blends and refreshing seltzers, our sodas are made to be enjoyed by all ages and for every occasion.
What Makes Our Soda Special? Let’s Break It Down
- Handcrafted in small batches
- Made with pure cane sugar and natural ingredients
- Slow-carbonated for smoother bubbles and better flavor
- Caffeine-free and gluten-free
- Big flavor, no artificial aftertaste
It’s soda the way it used to be — and the way it should be.
Family-Owned, Community-Powered
Reading Soda Works is proudly family-owned and locally operated, and that family mindset carries through everything we do.
To us, “family” means:
- Taking pride in our craft
- Treating customers like neighbors
- Supporting local makers and small businesses
- Giving back whenever and wherever we can
We’re deeply rooted in Reading and passionate about keeping our business local, welcoming, and community-driven.
More Than Soda — A Place to Gather & Give Back
Our space is about more than what’s in the bottle.
In addition to our sodas, Reading Soda Works is home to:
- A retail shop featuring handcrafted goods from local and regional vendors
- Community partnerships and nonprofit support
- Carbonic gas, dry ice, and beer & wine supplies serving local businesses and home enthusiasts
We love being a place where great flavors, local talent, and community support all come together.
Giving Back Is Part of Our Recipe
Supporting our community is baked right into our business model. Through our retail shop, we proudly donate 100% of profits from vendor merchandise sales to local nonprofit organizations that make a real difference close to home.
It’s our way of helping good causes bubble up.
