description Boylan Root Beer Overview

Boylan Root Beer is a carbonated soft drink produced by Boylan Bottling Company, a beverage business whose history began in Paterson, New Jersey, in 1891. The root beer is sweetened with cane sugar and uses a spice-based flavor profile characteristic of American root beer rather than containing alcoholic beer. It is sold for consumers seeking a bottled, traditionally styled soft drink and is part of Boylan's broader line of cane-sugar sodas.

help Boylan Root Beer FAQ

Is Boylan Root Beer sweetened with cane sugar or high fructose corn syrup?

Boylan Root Beer is sweetened with pure cane sugar rather than high fructose corn syrup, which distinguishes it from most mainstream mass-produced American root beers. This gives it a cleaner, less cloying sweetness that craft soda drinkers often prefer.

How long has Boylan Bottling been making soda?

Boylan Bottling Company traces its origins to 1891 in Paterson, New Jersey, where it began producing birch beer and other fountain drinks. The company has operated for over 130 years and is one of the older continuing craft soda producers in the United States.

What does Boylan Root Beer taste like compared to A&W or Mug?

Boylan Root Beer has a drier, more spice-forward profile featuring wintergreen, sassafras, and vanilla notes, whereas brands like A&W and Mug tend toward a sweeter, creamier vanilla-dominant flavor. The cane sugar sweetening and glass-bottle packaging also contribute to a crisper carbonation.

Does Boylan Root Beer come in glass bottles?

Yes, Boylan Root Beer is sold in glass bottles — including their signature 12-ounce longneck format — which is consistent across the Boylan soda line. The glass-bottle presentation is central to Boylan's identity as a premium craft soda brand.
