Welcome Ryan’s sister Lindsay to the Big Jerk team! She’s helping us show off how cool we are and started us a Tick Tock or whatever if you like that sort of thing.

Today is the 110th birthday of the National Park Service!

Big jerk was born from a longing for an experience once had at the border of a national park. From huckleberry mules shared with strangers who became friends in a moment. Born from a desire to live interestingly and creatively. A desire to do something a little bold.

In 2016 we lived in a van and attempted a massive roadtrip to every NPS site for the Parks Centennial. We followed some new van life pals to Polebridge, a little pit stop of a town on the western edge of Glacier NP. We spent a glorious month there: hiking, swimming, working at a saloon, finding a different kind of community, one that was often formed in the after hours of that century-old cabin turned public house.

Our trip was cut short and we came home to Pensacola. We began to make our own ginger beer, an attempt to keep the spirit of our trip alive. Our friends liked it, a few businesses dared to leap with us and sell our product, so Big Jerk was officially born in 2018, and we’ve been on this wild ride since.

Some days it’s hard to remember what urged us onto the road, chasing brown road signs to our next adventure. And then other days, like today, we make ginger beer together, now with our son, and that fire within flickers again. To be bold and creative. To do something interesting every day.

Maybe one day we will get back in the van again and check off some more park sites. But for now, Big Jerk ignites our creative spirit. Hope this batch of Ginger Beer tastes as special to y’all as it felt to make it today.
💛💚💛

Real ones know there’s a day you decide it’s close enough to a Big Jerk seasonal flavor release that you can enjoy the last one left in last year’s stash. Today was that day for this Cranberry Ginger Beer. Because after all, we’re only 3 months away from this fall favorite coming back. This time with a new look, but that incredible tart flavor remaining the same.

What Big Jerk seasonal flavor is in your stash?

If you’re out on the beach today for the Blues, come grab a sip of soda from us at the Circle K! It doesn’t get more local than drinking a Pensacola-made soda on Pensacola Beach watching the Blue Angels.

P.S. Come see us and we will tell you how to get a free Big Jerk soda today!

We are excited to be a local beverage option at the all new FRETS Barbershop and salon. This shop has a great vibe and talented, passionate staff. Ryan got the full experience with a cut and beard trim complete with hot towel and straight razor shave. Go get cleaned up at this amazing local spot and enjoy a complimentary Big Jerk while you’re at it. FRETS is located two doors down from the birthplace of Big Jerk Soda Co., The Leisure Club. Ya know, in case you want to kill two local birds with one stone.

We are excited to announce our partnership with Darrell of Vollet Distribution! For the last eight years we have been handling our own soda orders and delivery, but today we hand off most of that responsibility to Darrell. It’s pretty awesome to be able to outsource this aspect of our business to another small business, just expanding the fabric of our beautiful local business scene in Pensacola. Tell Darrell “hey” next time you see him dropping off sodas to your favorite Big Jerk vendor! You’ll have to catch Ryan while he’s restocking Circle K stores instead! Thanks for your support!
