Boylan Soda Review






Our story starts in 1891, when a Pharmacist named William Boylan created an elixir in his Paterson, NJ apothecary. He named that serum, a derivative of birch trees, Boylan’s Birch, and through most of the 20th century Boylan remained a Birch Beer brand local to New Jersey.

Over the years Boylan was distributed in many forms and packages. In the earliest days, Boylan Birch Beer was marketed as a soda fountain beverage, before it was first bottled in the early 1900s. During Prohibition in the 1920s, Boylan was actually sold in unused beer barrels, and from the 1940s through the 1970s, the Birch Beer was primarily sold in kegs to taverns in New Jersey. In the latter part of the 20th century, back in glass, Boylan found its greatest success in the 12 oz. highly decorated glass bottles for which the brand has become so well known, although even today Boylan can be found in the soda fountains of restaurants who want to pour a better beverage.

With the help of those distinctive glass bottles, Boylan Bottling Co. became even more well known for the variety of sodas they contained. Although Birch Beer will always be a big part of the Boylan brand heritage, Boylan today is best known for its full line of hand crafted sodas, ranging from core Ginger Ale, Root Beer, Cane Cola and Crème sodas, to our bold fruit flavors, such as Black Cherry, Orange and Grape.

And while the packaging varied greatly over the years, from fountains to barrels to kegs and bottles, and the flavor lineup expanded dramatically, what never changed was Boylan’s commitment to making sodas the right way, from home grown recipes and the best quality ingredients for maximum flavor.

Today the Boylan brand’s strongest following still resides near its birthplace around the New York Metro and MidAtlantic areas, but as Boylan follows the demand of its passionate fans, our sodas are now available in over twenty states and on three different continents. Today more people than ever have the chance to experience Boylan’s bold flavors and appreciate the way sodas can taste when they’re done right.

The soda that we got to taste was yummy! We loved the Shirley Temple! Their drinks are made with cane sugar. Boylan Bottling’s hand crafted, cane-sugar-sweetened sodas harken back to a time when sodas were all about flavor, instead of syrupy sweetness, excessive carbonation and convenience. We put a lot of TLC into our recipes and formulations, sourcing only the best flavors available and using only pure cane sugar (instead of high fructose corn syrup) to enhance those flavors. Then we package our sodas up in our thick glass bottles with just enough carbonation to enhance the flavor rather than cover it up. The end result is a soda whose flavor will make you say “Wow!” when you taste it. First of all, because you CAN taste the flavor, even as the first sip passes your lips…but then you “Wow” at how incredibly good the flavor is. As in the “where have you been all my life” kind of good.



I was happy that I got picked to try this seasonal drink. The pink color was so inviting that as soon as it was out of the box I had to open one up. The taste was sweet but not shocking. It tasted like the Shirley Temples you get at a restraunt, but bottled soda has a better taste to it. I love the old time design. Nothing better than soda in a bottle, a glass bottle! Try this out. If you check out their website you will find a deal they have going on right now for their Shirley Temple drinks. You will absolutely love them! I do hope to get to try some of their other flavors in the future. These were soo good that I only got one of the 4 bottles because everyone in the house fought over who was gonna get to drink a whole one.

Five Lil Bass In Tow was not monetarily compensated for this review. I was sent 4 bottles of Shirley Temple Soda to test and post my honest review.
