Avery’s Beverage for over a century has proven to be a soda company that has flourished by using its old manufacturing methods. Sherman F. Avery began making soda in a red barn on Corbin Ave, New Britain, in the summer of 1904. Ever since, Avery’s has continued to produce its organic sodas the same way.
The company starts by making its soda with 750 pounds of real cane sugar mixed with water. It then adds flavoring to the syrup mix, which is poured into the bottles with carbonated water. Shake the bottle and the soda is ready to go.
As simple as this may sound, it is hard labor because all the machines are old-fashioned and manual. Yet, the employees feel it’s an honor to work in such an historic barn.

Customers from all around love the soda and try their best to come buy whenever they can.
“It is the only soda company that has organic soda,” said Anthony Franco, a regular Avery’s customer. “I try to come here four times a week or as much as I can.”
Single soda bottles are sold at one dollar, six-packs are sold for five dollars and a whole case containing 24 bottles is sold at $16.
Every Saturday the company invites children or adults to come into the business and make their own soda. A minimum of five people and a maximum of 20 people can come in and invent their own flavors and name them. Afterward, they bring three soda bottles and their own soda maker’s apron back home. It costs $11.50 per person.
Many of the sodas and names the children have come up with has been used for the business. "Dog Drool" and "Toxic Brain-Juice" are a couple of the notable sodas that have come about from this Saturday program.
