Review: Fitz’s Hard Key Lime
Fitz’s Hard Key Lime is the second hard soda collaboration between Fitz’s and The O’Fallon Brewery. The first was Fitz’s Hard Root Beer. Fitz’s Root Beer first appeared in St. Louis at a local drive in restaurant in 1947. After disappearing for several years the brand was revived and is made according to the original recipe. Fitz’s currently produces over a dozen soda’s including Key Lime and Cardinal Cream, a red cream soda named for the local baseball team, and Kaldi’s Coffee Cola, a natural sugar cane cola blended with genuine Kaldi’s freshly brewed espresso roast coffee. The building that houses Fitz’s was build in 1928 for the West End Bank. The space became a Chinese Restaurant in the 1980’s. Fitz’s Key Lime is brewed as an ale at the O’Fallon Brewery with the same distinctive flavors of tart key limes and natural pure cane sugar found in Fitz’s Key Lime craft soda. The O’Fallon Brewery opened in 2000 and was sold in 2011. Since then they have built a new brewery and added their own bottling line. They currently craft over 30 year round and seasonal beers.
