KAS is a highly recognizable carbonated soft drink brand that originated in the Basque Country of Spain. Founded in 1956 by the Knörr brothers in Vitoria-Gasteiz, the brand name is an acronym for 'Knörr El Alavés S.A.' It has since become a staple of Spanish beverage culture, particularly famous for its lemon and orange flavors.

In 1991, the brand was acquired by PepsiCo, which integrated KAS into its global portfolio while maintaining its strong local identity in the Iberian market. Most KAS products are manufactured in Spain to serve the local and neighboring markets like Portugal and France. Today, PepsiCo remains the ultimate owner, managing the brand through its European subsidiaries. The 'Zero' version shown here reflects the modern shift toward sugar-free beverage options while maintaining the brand's heritage.
