about us

We were founded in Columbus, Georgia by Jimmy McKinstry in 2008. Jimmy is an industry veteran with 48 years of experience at The Royal Crown Cola Company. Many consider Columbus to be the birthplace of Cola as Dr. John Pemberton, the famed Pharmacist who created the original Coca-Cola formula was from here. 

Chris McKinstry is the President of River City Beverages, bringing an additional 26 years of experience in the development and production of beverages to our lab, adding a capability to take a product from conception to consumption.

Chief Financial Officer, Kelly McKinstry, is the brains behind the operation. She keeps our accounting accurate, our financial reporting timely and keeps the rest of us in line.

We look forward to meeting you in person.
