Filbert's Old Time Root Beer, a family-owned business since 1926, has been a staple of Chicagoland's beverage scene, initially delivering milk using horse and carriage. Known for its exceptional root beer and a variety of 31 flavored sodas, the company prioritizes quality by bottling in small batches using pure cane sugar and natural ingredients.

Originally founded by George Filbert, the enterprise transitioned into brewing draught root beer during Prohibition and continues to be recognized for its traditional recipes and charming history. Today, it operates out of 3430 S Ashland Ave, proudly maintaining its legacy as a beloved South Side soda pop factory.
