A can of Blue Sky Cola

Blue Sky Beverage Company is an all natural beverage company that produces a large selection of natural soft drinks and energy drinks. It is a fully-owned part of the Hansen Beverage Company.^[1]^[2]

Blue Sky Beverage Company offers several beverage lines that promote a natural lifestyle. The beverage company has organic, all-natural, calorie-free, and tea soda lines. The company also manufactures a line of energy drinks. The original natural, real-sugar line of products was introduced in 1980 and was marketed towards people who were allergic to high-fructose corn syrup, or people that are attempting to eliminate it from their diets.

Blue Sky beverages are available in United States and Canadian natural food and grocery stores nationwide. The company was started in Santa Fe, NM in 1980, where it remained until it was purchased by Hansen Beverage Company in 2000. Blue Sky Beverage Company now operates out of Corona, CA. The southwestern look and feel of the artwork on the soda cans is reminiscent of the company's roots in New Mexico.
