VERMONT SWEETWATER BOTTLING
Vermont Sweetwater Bottling Company is a small Vermont family owned and operated bottling company, producing nine all natural beverages, made from only the finest ingredients.
The Idea is born…
The idea for their first product was born when brothers, Bob and Rich Münch were drinking maple sap, while doing some backyard maple syrup making. They both agreed that the maple sap tapped right from the Maple tree, with a little carbonation would make a terrific beverage and so became the birth of Vermont Sweetwater Bottling Company.
Getting the genie to stay in the bottle…
The next year was spent researching the preservation of maple sap and the gathering of equipment found throughout New England. At the heart of their bottling line is a restored 1940 vintage Crown Cork and Seal Dixie bottler. The equipment was assembled in the old dairy barn on the family farm and by the start of the next sugaring season everything was in place to produce their first product, Vermont Maple Seltzer. The Vermont Maple Seltzer is made with 100% maple sap with no water added. During the following year Vermont Sweetwater received a United States patent on their product for its unique pasteurization and carbonation process.
