Yacht Club Bottling Works opened in 1915 with the goal of bringing a premium quality beverage to Rhode Island. The Official Soda and Water Company of Rhode Island, Yacht Club only uses glass bottles for carbonated soft drinks. Glass, because it keeps the contents fresh and pure unlike any other container. Every drink produced begins with natural artesian water, from an artesian well drilled through the bedrock 180ft below the building, in 1923. The water is natural mineral water and has exceptional characteristics for carbonation. Its natural temperature is 45 degrees, which allows carbonation without the use of cooling towers that can be bad for the environment. Also the water naturally accepts 5.5 volumes of carbonation without alteration. This means NO SALT ADDED for carbonation.
All syrups are made onsite with only extra fine granular pure cane sugar mixed with natural artesian water. Never High Fructose Corn Syrup! Pure cane sugar is triple the cost of HFCS but well worth it. Pure Cane Sugar is unmatched in quality and taste. When the syrup is fully mixed, the finest extracts, and flavorings are added to make a truly unique drink. Yacht Club also has a large selection of sugar free options including diet soda and naturally flavored sparkling water. You will notice when you drink a Yacht Club Soda that it is clean, smooth and genuinely refreshing.
Yacht Club is a family owned and operated local manufacturer that believes in having minimal impact on the environment. Only returnable glass bottles are used, they can be returned for a credit. All bottles returned are sterilized then reused. (Reuse is the best form of recycling) Every bottle returned saves enough energy to power a standard light bulb for 100 hours. Last year alone with the Think Green Save the Bottles campaign, Yacht Club reused over 5000 cases (120,000+ Bottles) keeping them out of our local landfill.
