Bireley's Orange Drink

A question for people who grew up in Southern California that'd save me some (non-online) research time:
Bireley's non-carbonated orange drink was a regional product manufactured here in the San Francisco Bay Area in the fifties and into the sixties. (Oddly, a licensee in Japan apparently sells a drink by that name even today.)
I know it was available in the Bay Area, the north part of the state and in the Central Valley as well. But I don't know about SoCal. Can anyone help me on that?
(Don't know if anything will come of it, but I'm sort of outlining a time-travel thing that sends a couple of 1980-90 kids back to the Mickey Mouse Club of 1956, and was looking for some period-appropriate non-cola soft drinks like Hires Root Beer and Nehi Grape Soda.)
Also, I can't remember if anyone out here was selling bottles of cream soda back then. (First I saw of it here in San Fran was in cans, sometime in the mid-sixties -- probably Shasta brand.)
