GetReal Food Company was started by two people passionate about real stuff. They enjoy real food made by hand and sourced from local food growers. Their desire is to make real food products from real ingredients. 

Founders Benamin Topel, a former custom-home construction trade worker, and Sean Henry, a former software developer and business owner, have been brewing their artisanal sodas and mixers in nano-batches—six and a half gallons, or 48 bottles, at a time--since January, 2010. All the production work, from peeling and juicing to corking, is done by hand

It started when Benjamin began researching and experimenting with ingredients to make authentic, traditional beverages like root beer, ginger beer, and similar sparkling drinks. Natural carbonation, whole botanicals, handmade production and most importantly time, became the obvious difference. After taking multiple test batches to Sean, (a self-appointed, highly-opinionated food hobbyist) the first example of their unique, whole food approach was born. From that moment, Sean suggested that Ben and he start GetReal Food Company. The goal would be to produce a line of beverages that incorporated these "radical" concepts, incorporating whole, and when possible, organic and local, food as its only ingredients.

The GetReal Food Company is comprised of a series of beverage products that include: SodaVie, a series of hand-made sparkling beverages using real food; localBucha, a line of artisan kombucha teas; B&S Soda, a line of root beer sodas that serve as a playground of flavor; and Eau, a distinctive line of "elixirs" that work as naturally sparkling waters as well cocktail mixers bringing a tasty sensation to traditional, flat cocktails.

The result is a series of beverages that is not boring, impersonal, and anonymous. It’s an experience that transcends the norm and gets real.
