Bull Run in a Bottle? - Printable Version - May 7, 2008 - 5 Comments

A bottle of Bull Run Water, manufactured by HOTLIPS.Employees at the Water Bureau were tickled to see a complimentary case of HOTLIPS, "Bull Run Water," arrive in our offices early this week. While the bureau had nothing to do with the bottling of said water, it made us all feel good to see a sustainable glass bottle* of water bearing the name we so proudly serve to our customers every single day of the year.

 

Furthermore, in a fact sheet sent to us by HOTLIPS co-owner, David Yudkin, the company explains that they are bottling Bull Run water because, "...frankly, it is the best water in the world."

 

We agree, Mr. Yudkin!

 

Mr. Yudkin plans on donating profits from his bottled Bull Run water to drinking water advocacy. Bull Run Water will be sold at his Hotlips Pizza Restaurants.

 

*The glass was purchased locally and is made up of a high percentage of recycled glass to begin with.

Another cool thing done by David Yudkin and his wonderful wife and partner, Jeana. They are true modern-day pioneers.

David told me he now has something to offer his customers who insist on purchasing bottled water!

I have an un opened 12oz. bottle of "Bull Run Portland's Sparkling Water"......Bottled by the Portland Bottling Co. I think it was back in the mid 1980's. I kept it because at the time it seemed a novel idea to bottle water..........you really had something going there. Are there many of these bottles still around?

I have one myself. Why didn't it catch on back then. I think Ivancy was mayor then.
