Wild Bill’s Untamed Flavors Just Got a Reboot!
January 24, 2022
So, we did a thing. Because we know ya’ll love the sweet taste of nostalgia mixed with carbonated goodness that tickles your taste buds, we wanted to provide you with alllllll the options. Including sodas with all of the sweet and none of the cheat! As a matter of fact, you’re the inspiration behind the creation of Wild Bill’s Low Sugar soda options. All the bold, creamy flavors you’ve fallen in love with plus all the froth you’re accustomed to getting with Wild Bill’s. But with less pure cane sugar. It’s kind of perfect. (Minus the “kind of.”) Our new Low Sugar soda flavors only have 25 calories, no artificial sweeteners, colors, or preservatives. No caffeine. No high fructose corn syrup. And they’re vegan friendly and gluten free. Just a can full of those good memories of simpler times, with crafted flavors that take you back to when “adulting” wasn’t even a word. And Wild Bill’s Low Sugar sodas still pair well with all your favorite foods! Wild Bill’s Low Sugar Orange Cream Soda Nothing brings back the good ole’ days like a push pop. Remember those? Orange creamsicle goodness in an easy-to-manage cardboard tube from the ice cream truck or even your school cafeteria. We know you remember. Take all those memories and that bursting, fruity orange flavor and pack them into a can. You’ve got our Low Sugar Orange Cream Soda. Pairs perfectly with Asian dishes! Wild Bill’s Low Sugar Root Beer If you’re a root beer lover, this will be your guilt-free trip to “back in the day” sweet summer bliss. Oh, and root beer floats anyone? Um, we think yes. When we think of root beer, we think of good old-fashioned American cookout staples. Burgers, hotdogs, ribs, turkey legs as big as your head. Yeah, that kind of food. So go ahead. Grab a beer. A root beer that is. Made better. Wild Bill’s Low Sugar Vanilla Cream Soda Basically, a dessert in liquid, portable form. If you thought our original Vanilla Cream Soda was oh so delish, wait till you try it without having to be carb conscious! Ever had homemade vanilla bean ice cream? We’re talkin’ the kind you made yourself in those big bucket ice cream machines. There’s nothing like it, really. No vanilla ice cream compares. Our Low Sugar Vanilla Cream Soda definitely gives off homemade ice cream vibes and pairs perfectly with old-fashioned, salty fried chicken. Trust us. We know! The truth is, all of our Low Sugar sodas are just as good as their original counterparts. Maybe you’ve heard that before from other brands and found it not to be as true as you’d like it to be. Well, we’re not those brands. We believe that you don’t have to sacrifice flavor (or your diet) to drink in the old-fashioned, wholesome goodness that Wild Bill’s crafted beverages provide! So go ahead. Indulge. Daydream. Relax. Remember simpler times with Wild Bill’s.

Prior to expanding into retail, Wild Bill’s was known for its thematic Wild West pop-up activations that served its famous craft beverages at fairs, festivals and conventions around the country. In late 2021, the company expanded the business into retail, going beyond events.

Wild Bill’s sodas are often consumed during special occasions, paired with the most delicious foods and great company.

The company is now in over 250 retailers nationwide, with more than half of which are on-premise locations. “Our retail business has grown 450% in just a matter of months,” said Michael Russo, chief marketing officer at Wild Bill’s. “While we plan to continue supporting our event business, we’re equally focused on expanding our retail footprint this year by partnering with more like-minded businesses that value our nostalgic flavors and veteran–oriented mission.” New retailers as well as consumers shopping on DrinkWildBills.com, can purchase the newly introduced limited edition line of summer craft soda flavors. Just in time for hot weather, these delicious sodas pair well with outdoor summer activities, but without the alcohol. New flavors include: Rocket Pop: With flavors of cherry, lime, and raspberry, this ice cream truck classic is the fizzy liquid version of a signature All-American treat. Cola + Diet Cola: Inspired by olde fashioned, traditional recipes, these two new flavors are made using infusions of the finest ingredients including sweet cinnamon, vanilla and nutmeg. Mojito Soda: A refreshing mix of lime and mint, this Virgin Mojito Recipe is all of the flavors of the cocktail classic sans alcohol. Wild Bill’s products can be purchased directly from DrinkWildBills.com, Amazon, select local retailers, and at hundreds of events annually. To learn more about Wild Bill’s visit DrinkWildBills.com.

Veteran Spotlight: Andrew St. Cyr
September 01, 2022
Drew is a veteran and dad to four kids. Before joining Wild Bill’s, he served in the Marine Corps as a Staff Sergeant for nine years (two Iraq deployments, one deployment to Afghanistan, and also deployed on one Marine Expeditionary Unit) and was honorably discharged after an injury led to early separation. He joined Wild Bill’s as our Northeast General Manager and was subsequently promoted to Director of Operations. In 2017, Drew co-founded the Warrior Reunion Foundation, a not-for-profit that supports reunions for combat veterans. Tell me about your time in the military. I served in the Marine Corps from 2002 to 2010. I was an artilleryman and rose to the rank of Staff Sergeant. During my time in the Corps we were deployed twice to Iraq. In 2010 I was injured during combat operations and subsequently medically separated from the service in 2011. My time in the military was both challenging and extremely rewarding. I learned life long lessons and also made lifelong friendships. What do you want civilians to know about life after service? The transition from the military to the civilian world can be challenging. We learn a whole new “language” in the military, which can make communication with a civilian employer challenging. However, the underlying work and leadership skills we learn in the military are 100% transferable to the civilian workplace. It’s a matter of communication. For me, I was fortunate to have a mentor who helped in this translation. Here at Wild Bill’s we hire many veterans and we work hard as a company to acclimate them to the civilian world and help them build careers here or in other organizations. We are also very proud that several of our veteran employees have started their own businesses as Wild Bill’s franchisees or in other industries. What do you do at Wild Bill’s? I am directly responsible for executing our events across the U.S. and Canada. The work is quite complicated as it involves moving equipment and personnel from city to city as we travel across the country. The logistics can be challenging–it’s very exciting work. Our customers see us during the weekend at fairs, festivals and other shows, but we are busy seven days a week getting set up for the events. We recently launched our Veteran Franchise program to support other veterans to become Wild Bill’s franchisees. As we add new veteran franchisees I also spend time on their training and support. How can other businesses support veterans? The best way to support veterans is to just give them a chance! The military is an exceptional training organization. The veterans you hire have demonstrated a service mentality– they place the needs of others ahead of their own. They have learned how to take the initiative, seek responsibility, and conquer challenges – all they need is an opportunity.
