Nestled on the crest of the Cascade Mountain range, no other place on earth combines a deep lake so blue in color; sheer surrounding cliffs almost two thousand feet high; and two picturesque islands. Crater Lake is a natural wonder known world-wide for its depth and clarity, and also the inspiration for our soda line.

We're proud of our company history, which started when a recipe for homemade root beer was created by the Gouverneur family of Southern Indiana. The youngest of four children, Curt Gouverneur took a particular interest in helping to craft homemade sodas – paying close attention to the quality ingredients needed to make a truly gourmet soda.

Curt worked to create three additional varieties – orange cream, vanilla cream and lemon lime bitter – and joined Ocean Mist Sales & Marketing to make his dream of brewing gourmet sodas a reality. Ocean Mist Sales & Marketing is affiliated with the Yoshida Group of companies. Until recently we have only offered our sodas in kegs, but as a result of this affiliation, we are now able to offer the same great product in retail stores.

We have always used premium ingredients, and will never compromise the quality of our truly gourmet sodas. Every drop of Crater Lake Soda is brewed and bottled in beautiful Portland, Oregon, and available in stores throughout the Pacific Northwest. We recommend you enjoy these classic American sodas served chilled, with great company!

Renewable energy is the energy we get from constantly replenishing natural resources. Think sun, wind, tides, biomass and geothermal heat. We can also add biofuels and hydrogen derived from renewable resources to our list.

We call it "renewable" because there is a virtually limitless supply, unlike coal, oil and natural gas. By turning to these sources and limiting our use of nonrenewable fossil fuels, we can help create a clean and secure energy future for Oregon.
