Production and Sales Specialist at Burly Beverages - Sacramento, California, United States
Based in Sacramento, California, we make sell craft, small batch, natural soda syrups and shrubs by hand. Our elixirs are used for sodas, craft cocktails, and even cooking!Purchase our syrups on our website, at our tasting room in Sacramento, at many Raleys/Bel Air/Nob Hill locations, Nugget Markets, and many local Sacramento and Bay Area markets, co-ops and shops. Our syrups can also be found in craft cocktails, sodas, and floats at many of Sacramento's most unique bars, restaurants, and parlors.This venture was started by founder Gabriel Aiello who had a quest for a better ginger beer....something without corn syrup or added preservatives. As his searches fell short he decided to teach himself to make some from scratch. While learning how to craft these beverages, he fell in love with the process and quickly realized that he was creating something special. It is his personal mission to use Burly Beverages as a vehicle to promote a quirky and health-minded approach to sodas and soft drinks by using fresh, locally-sourced ingredients, natural sweeteners and a small batch mentality to assure a consistent, high quality product and to create an all-natural product that is an alternative to the status quo of today's soft drinks and beverages. These tonics, if you will, are designed using quality ingredients, locally-sourced produce, and REAL sweeteners. While sugar is sugar, and should always be consumed in moderation, the sugars and sweeteners used in these elixirs are in their rawest forms and retain all of their nutritional elements.Sacramento is considered one of the leaders in the Farm-to-Fork movement. The current trajectory of local curiosity is inspiring a new generation of culinary pioneers, who focus on high-quality, small batch, craft products. We hope to promote this burgeoning culture and celebrate other local innovators, to nurture and guide other potential entrepreneurs and makers, as we have been by our industry mentors in Sacramento.
