Firmly cemented in the pantheon of early soda brands, Red Rock was founded in 1885 in the mecca of soda - Atlanta, GA. Grocers GT Dodd, and Lee Hagan partnered to purchase a bottler and named the new enterprise Red Rock Beverages. That same year they introduced Red Rock's famous ginger ale to the masses. While Coca Cola had Marilyn and Moxie had Ted Williams, none other than the Great Bambino, Babe Ruth himself was a Red Rock spokesman. By the 1940s Red Rock boasted distribution in 45 of 48 states.
