Uncle Scott's Root Beer is a small-batch, artisan root beer brand founded in 2007 by Scott and Suzanne Ramsey, based near Mooresville, North Carolina. The company was created with the mission of producing a wholesome, old-fashioned style root beer using only natural, pronounceable ingredients — appealing to consumers of all ages who seek clean-label, traditionally crafted beverages. The flagship product is a handcrafted root beer made from filtered carbonated water, pure cane sugar, vanilla, cinnamon oil, natural caramel, birch and cherry extract, licorice root oil, anise oil, and natural gum arabic. The formulation contains no high fructose corn syrup, no artificial ingredients, and no artificial preservatives. It is also free from common allergens including milk, eggs, shellfish, wheat, soy, and gluten, and contains no caffeine, making it broadly accessible to a wide range of dietary needs and preferences. The beverage is positioned as a clean-label, heritage-style craft soda that competes in the specialty and natural food and beverage segment. Distribution spans multiple states including North Carolina, Georgia, South Carolina, Iowa, Tennessee, and Florida, with additional retail presence through Grandpa Joe's Candy Shops located across the United States, including locations in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Minnesota, Florida, and West Virginia. Online ordering and national shipping are facilitated through a third-party platform at yaysoda.com, extending the brand's reach beyond its regional retail footprint. Beyond the beverage brand, the Ramseys operate a small farm and produce stand — Ramsey's Country Farmers Market — also located near Mooresville, North Carolina. The farm grows fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers using chemical-free, sustainable, and permaculture-based agricultural practices. While the farm represents a complementary venture, the core commercial identity of the business remains centered on the craft root beer product. Uncle Scott's Root Beer appeals to specialty food retailers, independent candy and soda shops, natural food stores, and restaurants seeking a distinctive, allergen-friendly, all-natural craft soda option with regional heritage and a compelling brand story.
