Blue Sky Beverage Company was a beverage company that produced soft drinks and energy drinks. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Monster Beverage Corporation.[1][failed verification][2] The company was established in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in 1980,[citation needed] where it remained until it was purchased by Monster (then Hansen Beverage) in 2000. Coca-Cola North America took ownership of Blue Sky Sodas, Hansen’s Juice Products, Hansen’s Natural Sodas, Hubert’s Lemonade, Peace Tea and other non-energy drink brands as part of Coke’s partnership with Monster Beverage Corp on Jun 12, 2015.[3] Blue Sky Beverage Company now operates out of Corona, California. The southwestern look and feel of the artwork on the soda cans is reminiscent of the company's roots in New Mexico.
Blue Sky Natural Soda ceased production in 2021. While still showing a website, Coca Cola ceased production of all products by Blue Sky and Hansen's Natural Sodas.
The company offered several beverage lines that promoted a natural lifestyle including organic, all-natural, calorie-free, and tea soda brands. The original line of all natural sodas was introduced in 1983. It also manufactures a line of energy drinks. Today[when?] the products were available throughout the US and Canada in natural food and grocery store markets.
