We are called SimpleBev, not SimpleSoda, and the order data backs that up. Around half of what leaves our warehouse every week is not soda at all. It is sparkling water for the person who quit sugar, brewed tea for the office, energy drinks for the 3 PM wall, hydration drinks for the gym bag, coconut water for the morning after and, lately, a lot of non alcoholic beer. If you are stocking a house or an office for people who do not drink soda, this is the list. Prices are per case at the time of writing and include CRV where it applies.

Every drink in this post is in the full category list. Mix cases across categories, they all count toward your minimum and toward free LA delivery.

Sparkling and still water

The biggest non soda category by far. Two kinds of buyers: the ones who want mineral water with real minerality, and the ones who want a big cold can of water that feels like a treat.

Browse the whole still and sparkling water aisle for the plain versions, the 1 liter bottles and the alkaline waters.

Brewed teas

Bottled tea splits into two camps: sweet and unsweetened. LA buys both, but the unsweetened, actually brewed bottles are the ones growing fastest.

The full tea, coffee and matcha aisle also has the Starbucks bottled coffees and the Snapple flavors.

Energy drinks

The 3 PM category. Households buy these for the commute and the workout, offices buy them for the fridge, and everyone has a brand.

See everything in the energy drink aisle.

Hydration and coconut water

Prebiotic soda, for the soda people who quit soda

Technically soda, but it belongs on this list because it is what former soda drinkers switch to. Poppi Doc Pop, Cherry Limeade and Strawberry Lemon, 12 packs at $35, low sugar with apple cider vinegar and prebiotic fiber.

Non alcoholic beer

The category that did not exist on our site a year ago and now has a full shelf. Every one is a 24 pack at $47.95 at the time of writing.

No age restriction, no alcohol tax, and it fits in the same cooler as the sparkling water.

A five case non soda order

  • One case of Topo Chico Grapefruit or Liquid Death for the water people.
  • One case of Just Ice Tea Peach Oolong for the office.
  • One case of Celsius or Alani Nu for the afternoon.

Frequently asked questions

What is the most popular non soda drink you deliver?

Sparkling water, and within that Topo Chico and Liquid Death. Just Ice Tea is the fastest growing.

Do you deliver cold?

No, cases ship at room temperature. Put the first six in the fridge when they arrive and the rest in the garage.

Is non alcoholic beer really alcohol free?

Most non alcoholic beers contain up to half a percent alcohol by volume, about the same as a ripe banana or a kombucha. Read the label on each product page if that matters to you.

Can I mix a soda case with these?

Yes. For local delivery, every case counts toward the minimum and toward free delivery regardless of category. Freight orders past 50 miles need 50 beverage cases, and snacks ride free.

Are prices current?

Prices were correct on the day of writing and can change. The product page always shows the current case price.
