Where was Bireley’s Real Orange Beverage made in the late 1950s?
Hi Lynne, I think my favorite soft drink as a kid was made in the LA area. I’m from Philly, and it was very popular here in the fifties.
I thought it came from Campbellsport, WI. Not sure if it was made there or just distributed from there. We sold it in our tavern when I was a kid.
My Boss has some vintage photos of the Bireley’s plant in Hollywood. His Dad worked for General foods and was the technical manager for their pectin plant. We were wondering if you know of anyone that might be interested in these old photos.
Here is a photo on Flickr with a Bireley’s billboard in the background:

Bireleys had a bottling operation in Atlanta in the 50s. I believe they also had NuGrape there also.
