About Barmy Soda

Barmy Soda Company has been producing great-tasting sodas made from all-natural ingredients since 2010 in the vibrant East End of Pittsburgh.  

Brendan Benson, owner of Barmy Soda Company, got his start in the soda making business while working as a beer brewer. He thought that a soda option for families would be a nice addition and so he developed a root beer and hoped all would go well.  It did.  The root beer started to fly out the door in glasses, in cans and even in kegs!  After this success he decided to develop a line of sodas that he would want to drink and his first thought was to create a ginger beer - seeing as he had always thought that ginger beers were never spicy enough, a truly spicy ginger beer was what he intended to create.  He did.  Using fresh squeezed ginger and lime juices he created the perfect spicy ginger beer.  It will settle any upset tummy, and it is amazingly refreshing on a hot day not to mention being one heck of a mixer - Moscow Mule anyone?  Or grab some Goslings next time you’re at the store cause we see some Dark and Stormys in your future - extra stormy!

After that Brendan kept experimenting with naturally flavored sodas using fresh squeezed juices and natural sugars in handmade small batches for the next few years developing the current line of sodas.

By 2020 Barmy Soda had expanded it’s sales beyond the brewery to other local bars, restaurants, cafes, universities and grocers and so Brendan made the decision to start canning in-house and solidified the offerings to 3 staple soda flavors: Root Beer, Ginger Beer, & Grapefruit and a line of 6 Seltzers: Hopped, Plain, Grapefruit, Orange, Lime and Lemon with a rotating list of over 10 (and growing) ‘one-off’ flavors using seasonal and local flavors. 

Brendan’s goal for the business is to continue to focus on small batch, flavor-forward sodas made with natural ingredients by hand.  In short - he’ll keep making sodas HE wants to drink and hope that YOU want to drink it too!

All Barmy Sodas are made with organic sugar and bursting with the flavors of our all natural ingredients and fresh squeezed juices.
