Part 3/8:
Belfast Beverage Company initially introduced Mug Root Beer in 1885, albeit under the less appealing name Dr. Sweats. Over the years, it underwent several name changes before landing on the sleek Mug Root Beer, thanks in part to aggressive marketing campaigns. Acquired by Pepsi in 1986, Mug became known for its creamy taste and true draft flavor. The introduction of a sugar-free formula further showcased its innovative approach, making it a go-to choice for many.
