By replacing commodity fountain brands with the "Crafted Elegance" of Boylan Bottling Co., Western Canadian establishment owners can guarantee a superior craft-soda experience that generic national brands simply cannot replicate. Boylan Root Beer is specifically engineered to provide a sophisticated, multi-dimensional flavor profile that avoids the medicinal aftertaste common in mass-market syrups.

Why Choose Boylan BIB vs. Standard Flavoring Syrups?
Pure Cane Sugar Standard
Unlike generic fountain sodas that rely on high-fructose corn syrup, Boylan remains committed to pure cane sugar. This provides a cleaner, crisp sweetness and a superior mouthfeel that doesn't leave a cloying aftertaste, satisfying the premium expectations of your guests.
High-Volume 5-Gallon Yield
The 5-gallon format is the gold standard for high-traffic environments. With a 5:1 ratio, one box produces 30 gallons of finished soda, offering better economy of scale and reducing the frequency of bag changes compared to smaller 2.5 or 3-gallon boxes.
Heritage Brand Prestige
Dating back to 1891, Boylan Bottling Co. is a "Legacy Brand" that signals quality and authenticity. Featuring Boylan on your fountain immediately upgrades your brand image, telling customers that your establishment prioritizes artisanal craft over commodity convenience.
Universal System Compatibility
Boylan BIBs are engineered to integrate with standard fountain systems, bar guns, and self-service dispensers. This allows you to upgrade your flavor profile to a premium craft tier without the need for expensive equipment retrofitting or brand-specific hardware.
Operational Efficiency
By moving to a BIB system, you eliminate the storage and recycling headaches of thousands of individual glass bottles or cans. The stackable, high-concentration format saves significant back-of-house space while providing consistent, zero-waste flavor.
Calgary Local Hub Logistics
Sourcing from our Calgary hub eliminates the high costs of international shipping and surprise duties. We ensure your high-volume soda system remains perfectly stocked with a reliable 2-5 day delivery window across Alberta and Western Canada.

Where can I buy Boylan Root Beer BIB syrup in Canada?
You can purchase individual 5-gallon boxes or full pallets at ChickenPieces.com. We ship directly from our Calgary warehouse to restaurants, bars, and theaters across Canada with no membership fees required.
What does Boylan Root Beer taste like?
It is a bold, complex "Original" root beer profile—deeply aromatic with sassafras and birch notes, balanced by the clean sweetness of cane sugar and a smooth, creamy finish.
What is the mix ratio for Boylan BIB syrup?
The standard ratio is 5:1. This means you mix 5 parts carbonated water with 1 part Boylan syrup. One 5-gallon box produces 30 gallons of finished soda.

Is Boylan Root Beer syrup vegan and gluten-free?
Yes, the Boylan Root Beer formulation is vegan-friendly and gluten-free, allowing you to cater to the diverse dietary requirements of modern Canadian consumers.
