Reed's

Everybody needs a Reed's. The company makes all-natural soft drinks, such as Original Ginger Brew and Virgil's Root Beer, as well as ginger candy, and ginger-flavored ice cream. Reed's brews its drinks from roots, herbs, spices, and fruits in a manner similar to how beer is brewed from malt and hops (without alcohol, though -- carbonation is added to Reed's drinks separately). The company also owns the China Cola brand, which contains an herbal mixture designed to help digestion. Reed's products are available in some 14,000 gourmet and natural food stores, grocery stores and supermarket chains, and specialty stores and restaurants throughout North America. It also makes private-label products for retailers.
