Another New Haven foodie delight....

Foxon Park sodas...
"Foxon Park Beverages, Inc. was founded in 1922 in East Haven,
Connecticut by Matteo Naclerio, an immigrant from Italy. He quickly
embraced the entrepreneurial spirit of his era and decided to open up
a beverage company called “Foxon Park,” named after the street on
which it resided at the time. Home delivery and a vast variety of
flavors were the key to success back then, and unique flavors such as
Iron Brew (a drink made famous in Scotland), Gassosa (a lemon flavored
Italian soda), Birch Beer, Root Beer, and many others set Foxon Park
apart from the vast competition. Ownership has been passed from
generation to generation and still remains in the family today,
continuing the tradition that was started so long ago.
Although much has changed over the years, the recipe has remained the
same. Using only the best ingredients, including real cane sugar,
Foxon Park has become a drink of choice throughout many parts of
Connecticut and has started to garner interest in other parts of the
country as well. Thanks to its ever growing distribution radius, this
soda has been spotted in restaurants as far west as California and as
far south as Florida."

The white birch beer is everyone's favorite.
Nice! The unions haven't put them out of business.
