We have some very exciting news to share with you… We have officially acquired Six Barrel Soda, the iconic craft soda company!
The acquisition is set to strengthen both brands and enhance production capabilities, while maintaining Six Barrel Soda's status as an independent and sustainable soda maker. For over a decade, Six Barrel Soda has been a leader in the craft soda industry, known for its inventive syrups, small-batch sodas, sugar-free Seltz Drops, and Sparkler soda makers. They’ve built a loyal following both in New Zealand and internationally, thanks to their commitment to quality, natural ingredients and bold, unique flavours.
We’ve been working with the Six Barrel team behind-the-scenes over the past few years, supplying them with our pure lime and lemon juice used in many of their syrups. They’ve been amazing to work with, and we’re excited to carry on their delicious work.
Six Barrel Soda founders have created a legacy business, by using their craftsmanship and creativity, to build an outstanding syrup and soda company. We are committed to continue building an enduring brand that stands out from the rest. Their commitment to excellence, integrity, and social responsibility are values that align perfectly with what we do at St Andrews Limes.
We can’t wait to open a new site that will bring both businesses together under one roof, and be open to the public, as Hawke’s Bay’s only specialty soda factory and cellar door. More details on that are coming soon.
Fans of Six Barrel Soda can expect the same restaurant-quality drinks they love, and we have delicious plans for new flavours and products on the horizon.
The acquisition officially takes place on the 31st of March 2025. We’re committed to a seamless handover, with minimal changes for customers and suppliers. The same Six Barrel Soda products will continue to be available through all usual stockists and online.
Feel free to contact limes@limes.co.nz if you have any questions.
Thank you for all of your support. We look forward to sharing this next stage of our journey with you!
Matt, Tracy and the St Andrews Limes team.
