Dalston's Soda

Dalston's is a British beverage brand that focuses on producing healthier, "clean-label" soft drinks. The brand was founded in 2012 by Duncan O'Brien in the Dalston area of East London. Dissatisfied with the high sugar and artificial additive content of mainstream sodas, the company initially started by hand-brewing drinks from real fruit in the back of a nightclub.

Today, Dalston's has expanded its reach significantly, offering a range of sparkling fruit drinks and seltzers that avoid refined sugars and artificial sweeteners. The manufacturing remains primarily focused in the United Kingdom to maintain quality standards and support local supply chains. The brand has achieved B Corp certification, reflecting its commitment to social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency in its business operations.

While the company has received investment from various venture capital funds to fuel its growth, it remains an independent entity. Its ownership structure is composed of the original founders and private investment groups, maintaining its status as a challenger brand in the competitive global beverage market.
