I don't always drink soda. But when I do...it's Cheerwine

[Tyler-The-Piker]

Best. Soda. Ever. Ever since I was young, any time I go down south I buy 2 liters or a case to bring back. my sister brought me some from South Carolina recently. my wife says I wouldn't like it as much or "Cheerwine wouldn't hold as much mystique" if I could get it here in central Indiana. Can any of you in southern Indiana buy it locally? Any one else with fond memories of Cheerwine?

i live in the south, & never heard of Cheerwine

Im south too (across from Louisville KY) and i havent ever seen it sold around here.

My mom lives right outside of Bowling Green Ky (about 2 hours south of me) and i see it everywhere down that way...so i guess my "expert" opinion is cant buy it locally in my neck of the woods, but cross the river a little ways and its everywhere to be had.

Never heard of it, but searching here Find Cheerwine - Cheerwine.com, the Rural King in Vincennes should have it. I will have to check it out.

My sister would bring me some when she comes homes to visit. I think it's a Carolina thang. Good stuff but im a big red man myself.

Cheerwine Had it down in Tennessee. Also a big fan of Blenheim's Ginger Ale, which is a Carolina thing. Check out Jungle Jim's in Cincinnati; they have a whole aisle of exotic drinks.

What is a sife? Is it a combination sister/wife? Are you from Kentucky?

Sorry, couldn't resist.... Carry on.

That's called the Kentucky theory of relativity.

You can buy it in downtown Indianapolis!

Rocket Fizz candy/soda shop right on the circle.

I can tolerate Cheerwine. Diet Cheerwine is absolutely disgusting.

I find it at a lot of Rural Kings. Personally I can't stand it. Favorite soda is Bundaberg Ginger Beer. You can get it online or at Rocket Fizz.

I love Cheerwine. The best version of it is the glass bottle version made with cane sugar. They have it at our local Do It Yourself store and I pick it up at Jungle Jim's in Cinci, too.

 

[warthog]

does it come in sugar free? I'm diabetic but I am intrigued as to its flavor. I was a big fan of Vernor's until it went nationwide. I changed its formula or something then and was never the same.

Vernor's is the devil.

Some of the Krogers and Meijers in the Louisville area stock Cheerwine. I find it a bit too sweet for my taste...and I agree the Diet Cheerwine is really bad.

I like Vernor's Ginger Ale...but my Favorite regional soda is SPRECHER's (Wisconsin). They offer several flavors... but the Orange Creme Soda, and even more The Cherry Cola (made with Door County Cherries and ginseing) Is really good.

Anyone here besides me like the original MOXIE and / or Beinheim Ginger Ale (the HOT version)

And speaking of HOT, Do any of you old guys remember when Dr Pepper was marketed as a 'Hot Beverage'. I remember the commercials showing kids sipping hot cups of Dr Pepper like tea, in a winter setting.

Yep. They do have a sugar free diet version.

Cheerwine has kind of a "cherry cola-mixed-with-Dr. Pepper" flavor
