Boylan's sodas come in a wide, awesome variety of flavors, especially when I realized each has a unique bottle cap. The sodas are of high quality and full-flavored, but not overly sweet. Especially impressive are the diet sodas which hardly taste as such. If I had to choose one, it would be diet creme.
The first four bottle caps above are from the Boylan's Natural line which I found in a Santa Cruz grocery store. The last several bottle caps are older variants which I assume are no longer being produced.
Overall, this set of bottle caps is great fun to look at, as each design choice matches the soda color and the beverage flavor. The bottles are also pretty retro-classy.
Boylan's sodas are found all over the place in the Bay Area, but I've found a good selection at Mollie Stones.
