Blue Sky Beverage Company is an all natural beverage company that produces a large selection of natural soft drinks and energy drinks. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Monster Beverage Corporation. The company was established in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in 1980 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. 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.
The company offers several beverage lines that promote 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.
