Ale-8-One soft drink has been bottled in Winchester KY since 1926!! It is the only soft drink developed in Kentucky that is still in existence.
This was one of the unique products we discovered even prior to moving to KY.
Our youth pastor in OH shared it with the kids in the group when they were on a mission trip to KY. My oldest made sure we sought it out once we moved here. As soon as we came down to interview in KY we found an Ale-8-one soft drink machine and indulged, I am so glad we did!!
The soft drink is similar to a ginger ale, but in a class all it's own. It is a truly unique beverage that you once could only find in KY. In 2002 they expanded to include over 61 counties including parts of OH and IN.
It does have caffeine so I have to make sure my kids don't overindulge at night. We don't drink soda alot, but when we are at the store choosing flavors, the first one in the cart is Ale-8-one. We purchase some for company when we have out of town guests as well. An icon of Kentucky!
The internet has allowed Ale 8 one to be delivered via UPS to other states as well.

I've never tried Ale-8 and I've had Ginger Ale as a kid but don't really remember the taste of it very well. Guess I will have to pick some up next time I go to the grocery :)

never tried. i like ginger ale when my stomach hurts
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried it, but I see it here in the stores and I was always curious. I guess I will have to try it now. As far as ginger ale goes, I like it, especially one's like Schwepp's that aren't overly sweet.

I've never tried it, but I would like to. I think ginger ale is good even though I don't drink it much.
ReplyDeleteI grew up drinking Ale8! I'm almost embarrassed to say that I come from a people that put it in baby bottles. I keep a hidden stash even now. I live out of state so I have to stock up when I am in town.

ReplyDeleteWe have a case of Ale 8 and Diet Ale 8 in our fridge right now! Of course, we live in Kentucky so we have always had it.
ReplyDeleteI like ginger ale...but I am NOT a fan of Ale8 one...lol.. my kids on the other hand, LOVE IT! When we go back home to visit ( Cincinnati) we always end up buying cases of it to bring back with us..(along with Barq's cream soda...lol) My sons would absolutely love this t shirt :)
ReplyDeleteI have never tried it! Sounds like it would be good... I do love ginger ale, especially when I have an upset stomach. Here in Maine, we have Moxie soda... boy oh boy, is it nasty...tastes like foul medicine lol, but my grandma and great grandma loved it!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of Ale-8 but I love Ginger Ale. It was a staple when I was pregnant!

Yes! We got a tour of the plant too in June! The tour guide is required to drink an Ale-8 every tour! Ale-8 is delicious...esp in the glass bottles!
