ST. LOUISIn celebration of the grand opening of the Gateway Arch’s new museum and expanded visitor center this summer, Fitz’s Root Beer is proud to introduce a limited-edition Fitz’s Root Beer bottle featuring St. Louis’ iconic monument.

The bottle’s label and commemorative 4-pack carrier showcase the merging of two iconic St. Louis brands loved and admired by many worldwide. Against the backdrop of the Arch and the downtown St. Louis skyline, the classic Fitz’s logo is emblazoned in red, white and blue. The story of the Arch and the recent renovations to its park grounds, which culminate with the grand opening of the Museum at the Gateway Arch on July 3, is also detailed.

A portion of sales proceeds will benefit the Arch’s longstanding non-profit partner, Jefferson National Parks Association (JNPA), an organization that has been helping people enjoy, learn about and support America’s national parks, public lands and historic places for more than 50 years. JNPA operates The Arch Store, located in the visitor center beneath the Gateway Arch, as well as the gift shop at the park’s venerable Old Courthouse.

“What better way to celebrate the new Gateway Arch experience – from the renovated park grounds and riverfront to the brand-new museum – than with one of the most iconic names in craft soda microbrewing,” says David Grove, President and CEO of JNPA. “This bottle reflects an exciting partnership with Fitz’s – one that will help us provide educational programming to the Gateway Arch National Park visitors. We are so thankful to Michael Alter and Fitz’s for creating this incredible opportunity for people to enjoy delicious Fitz’s Root Beer while celebrating the Arch.”
