Root beer has been an American staple for centuries, quenching the thirst and
aiding the digestion. Early American 'small beers' were made from herbs,
barks, roots, berries and mollasses that contained 2-12% alcohol.
The invention of these beverages (birch beer, ginger beer, sarsparilla and early
root beer) were driven by the shortage of barley for traditional beer. The
colonists soon found that by adding large amounts of molasses they could get
just about anything to ferment.
Charles Hires blended together more than 25 herbs, berries and roots to create
his particular brew and introduced commercial, non-alcoholic root beer to the
public at the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition. By 1893, the Hires
family sold bottled versions of their well-known brew, sealing their place in
root beer history.
Faerie's unique flavor powders are alcohol-free alternatives to extracts that
can be substituted one-for-one in place of extracts in any recipe. They
are especially suited for flavoring chocolate and candy.
