Irn-Bru

The Irn-Bru company manufactures one of the most famous orange carbonated soft drinks in the United Kingdom. It is manufactured in Scotland and is also distributed throughout the United Kingdom and also in countries such as the United States, Australia, Russia, South Africa or Canada. A product of great popularity that began to be marketed in 1901 in the town of Falkirk, between Edinburgh and Glasgow and that stood out mainly for its strong orange color.

The founder of the drink, Robert Barr of the company A.G. Barr, created it thinking of the workers of the Glasgow steelworks, but it was soon announced as an invigorating and sports drink. At the beginning of the 20th century, steel workers drank exclusively beer and AG Barr, a local manufacturer of soft drinks, brought them an alternative made with sugar and caffeine, perfect for workers to endure the entire workday. From here comes the first name of the drink “Iron Brew“, which had to be modified in the middle of the century because, although the drink contains iron, it has never been prepared.

Today, his recipe is still secret and only three people in the world know it, one of them the founder of the company.

Irn-Bru, the second Scottish national drink

Its characteristic radioactive orange color is due to the ingredients that make up the drink, especially citrus. Its extremely sweet taste has won all the Scots who have made this drink a national symbol.

In addition to the classic orange-flavored drink, they feature their sugar-free version and the Xtra version, flavored drink, low-calorie with candy. In addition, a few years ago they released the Irn-Bru Energy drink, a flavor energy drink mixed with taurine, caffeine and vitamins, as well as its sugar-free version.

The Ir-Bru versions without sugar were marketed this 2019 due to the new sugar tax that entered into force in April 2018.
