The Local Fizz |
| Posted by Administrator (admin) on Jun 27 2007 |
Since 2002, locally owned and operated Zuberfizz has been pleasing the tastebuds of Durangoans both young and old with old-fashioned, tickle-your-nose soda pop. With an already overpopulated local beer industry, Durango native Bandon Zuber began experimenting with small batches of soda at home, and selling it through local mom and pop restaurants. Only five years later, and you can find Zuberfizz all around the region, and yes, even in Texas. Abandoning the reckless production habits of larger soda companies, Zuberfizz is sweetened with pure cane sugar, as opposed to the much dreaded high fructose corn syrup, and transferred into glass bottles, which gives it the authentic taste that every pop should have. Handcrafted in small batches, Zuberfizzs production, bottling and distribution all takes place from its humble headquarters located behind Durango Coffee Company. 
You can stop in for a root beer, and at the same time watch the newest batch of orange cream soda being bottled and boxed. Either way, it beats the hell out of a Pepsi-Cola. Ever wondered what the bottling process is all about? Here it is, from the tanks to your belly in six photographs.
