Welcome to Barmy Soda Co.
Small-batch. Big flavor. Naturally.
Since 2010, Barmy Soda Co. has been handcrafting bold, all-natural sodas in the heart of Pittsburgh’s East End. Founded by brewer-turned-soda-maker Brendan Benson, the company began with a simple idea: make sodas with real ingredients that people actually want to drink.
The first creation—a richly spiced root beer—was an instant hit, pouring by the glass, selling by the can, and even finding its way into kegs. That early success sparked a new vision: a full line of soda that didn’t rely on artificial flavors, syrups, or shortcuts.
Barmy’s second flavor, a truly spicy ginger beer, set the tone for everything that followed. Made with fresh-pressed ginger and lime juice, it delivered real heat, real citrus, and real refreshment. Whether you’re drinking it straight, soothing an unsettled stomach, or mixing up a cocktail, this ginger beer doesn’t hold back.
From those first batches, Barmy Soda Co. has stayed committed to small-scale, hands-on production. Every soda is made using fresh juice, natural cane sugar, and simple ingredients you can actually recognize. No preservatives, no weird aftertaste—just crisp, clean flavor.
By 2020, Barmy had grown from a brewery side project to a recognizable name around Pittsburgh. Today, our sodas and seltzers can be found in restaurants, grocery stores, cafes, bars, and university campuses across the city. In-house canning allows for full control over quality, and a rotating lineup of seasonal flavors keeps things playful and creative.
Barmy’s core lineup includes flavor-forward sodas like Root Beer, Ginger Beer, and Grapefruit, alongside a bright, sugar-free seltzer line with options like Hopped, Lemon, Orange, and more. Limited-edition batches celebrate seasonal ingredients and spontaneous inspiration—always made with the same care and curiosity that sparked our very first pour.
At Barmy Soda Co., we believe great ingredients make great sodas. That’s why we compost all fruit waste, keep batches small, and craft every can with intention. It’s not about following trends. It’s about making soda that’s worth drinking.
Still small. Still scrappy. Still proud to do things the right way.
All Barmy Sodas are made with organic sugar and bursting with the flavors of our all natural ingredients and fresh squeezed juices.

🍂 Fall has officially arrived, and we’re kicking off the season with Barmy Soda Co.’s all-natural Cream Soda and Root Beer!
Fall Flavors with Barmy Soda Co.: Cream Soda & Root Beer
As the air turns crisp and the leaves begin to change, nothing captures the spirit of fall better than cozy flavors and comforting drinks. At Barmy Soda Co., we're celebrating the season with two of our fan-favorite flavors: Cream Soda and Root Beer. These sodas are more than just refreshing beverages – they’re crafted using all-natural ingredients, making them perfect for pairing with your favorite fall treats.
Let’s dive into explore delicious ways to enjoy our Root Beer and Cream Soda throughout the season, and provide recipes that will have you embracing autumn one sip (and bite!) at a time.
Fall Pairing Suggestions: Cream Soda & Root Beer
Whether you’re hosting a fall gathering or enjoying a quiet evening at home, Barmy Cream Soda and Root Beer are incredibly versatile for pairing with seasonal foods. Here are some pairing ideas to try this season.
1. Root Beer with Spicy Sausage & Caramelized Onion Pizza
Why it works: The sweet, spiced flavor of Barmy Root Beer is a perfect contrast to the savory, spicy sausage and sweet caramelized onions. The richness of the pizza is balanced by the deep notes of our Root Beer, making it a great match for fall.
Recipe: Spicy Sausage & Caramelized Onion Pizza Ingredients:
1 pound spicy Italian sausage, crumbled
2 large onions, thinly sliced
1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup tomato sauce
Olive oil for cooking
Fresh basil leaves (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
Heat olive oil in a pan and cook the onions over medium heat until caramelized, about 20 minutes.
In another pan, cook the sausage until browned and cooked through. Set aside.
Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface and transfer to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
Spread the tomato sauce over the dough, then top with caramelized onions, cooked sausage, and shredded mozzarella.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Garnish with fresh basil and serve with a cold bottle of Barmy Root Beer!
2. Cream Soda with Caramel Apple Pie
Why it works: The smooth vanilla notes of our Barmy Cream Soda perfectly complement the tartness of the apples and the sweetness of the caramel in this classic pie. This pairing creates an indulgent, comforting dessert experience.
Recipe: Caramel Apple Pie Ingredients:
6 cups peeled, sliced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best)
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 double pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, mix the apples with sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice.
Roll out the bottom pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish.
Pour the apple mixture into the crust and drizzle with caramel sauce.
Roll out the second crust and place it on top, crimping the edges. Cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the crust is golden and the apples are tender.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a glass of Barmy Cream Soda for the perfect fall dessert pairing.
