Hillbilly Root beer was bottled in Methuen Ma by the Kenoza bottling co. in 1951 then I believe it was sold to the Lowell Co.

Hi, I just found a bottle in my friends garage.

Hill-Billy Root beer Bottled by Lowell bottling Co.
53 Lawrence St. Lowell, Mass.
It has a picture of a hillbilly on the front wwith a shot gun and a jug, he’s laying down resting his head on his arm and barefoot.
just thought you might like the info.

i do believe it is an old bottle, yes. i will try to find it and check for city or zip codes on it but i don’t believe there was one.
i have tried gummi root beer bottles, but not in some time since i gave up gelatin. i liked them but i like most gummi things. actually i like gummi cola bottles better, but keep that to yourself! =)

Anthony,

Is this an old bottle that is being used? Does the bottle have a bottling city name on it and a zip code?
There was an old Hillbilly root beer and I think it was from CT or MA (reference stuff not at hand) and had a different logo, almost like a Mt. Dew hillbilly pose.

A side note – have you ever heard of or tried GUMMI ROOT BEER BARRELS? Tried some recently and was disappointed. I’m glad I didn’t order a large volume for my shop.

Thanks for keeping up the good reviews.
