History

Known best for its namesake root beer, Filbert's also produces 42 flavors of soda and 7 flavors of sparkling water. The company started at the turn of the century when George Filbert and family delivered milk, ice, and coal to homes in the Bridgeport neighborhood by horse-drawn wagon. The family added root beer in 1926, when it became popular during Prohibition. It was manufactured in half barrels and supplied mostly to taverns across five nearby states. Still a family business, Filbert's is run fully by Ronald Filbert.^[1]
