Dublin Bottling Works: A brief History

Dublin Bottling Works’ story began in 1891, rooted in the innovative spirit of Waco, Texas. Wade Morrison, the owner of Old Corner Drug Store, alongside pharmacist Charles Alderton, created a unique soda flavor that would become Dr Pepper. The drink quickly gained popularity, leading Morrison and Robert Lazenby to establish the Artesian Manufacturing and Bottling Company in 1891.

In 1891, a Texas businessman, Sam Houston Prim, recognized the drink’s potential and founded Dublin Bottling Works to bottle Dr Pepper. This marked the beginning of Dublin Bottling Works’ legacy in crafting sodas made with pure cane sugar.

Dublin Dr Pepper gained national exposure at the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis, solidifying its status as a beloved soda. Despite no longer producing Dr Pepper, Dublin Bottling Works maintains its commitment to quality and friendly service, honoring the legacy of W.P. Kloster, who embodied the brand’s values.

For over 130 years Dublin Bottling Works has been producing some of Texas’s favorite sodas.
