does your city have locally-made soda?

Our medium-small city (La Crosse, Wisconsin) is known for several breweries, but a tiny village only about 30 miles away — Spring Grove, Minnesota —has an eponymous company that makes delicious flavored sodas, including unusual flavors like “rhu-berry.”

ETA: Ninja’d by post #23! Who woulda thunk it? Howdy, neighbor!

Oh, I love their blueberry soda! When I moved in Lawrence, Kansas, the amazing Mass Street Soda store carried this, and about a million other little local products from across the US (and beyond, eg. Peru’s wonderful Inka Cola). I think they might no longer be in business, alas.

I also recall a delicious melon soda from somewhere in Connecticut. (ETA — it’s “Avery’s”.)

In NYC, we’ve got this stuff: Manhattan Special.

Despite its name, it’s nearly unknown in Manhattan, but fairly popular in Italian-American neighborhoods in Brooklyn.

I love it. I’m a hopeless addict.

From Connecticut, there’s also Foxon Park sodas. They have a variety of flavors.

And here is the website for Avery’s Beverages.

Old Dominion Root Beer was local until 2009; they’re in Delaware now and dropped the “Old”.

Many mid-sized breweries in southern Germany make orange soda (which they call “lemonade” for reasons). I haven’t checked but I’m sure there’s a locally brewed soda close enough to me.

I did some looking and Rock Creek is actually owned by a local Canada Dry subsidiary, called Canada Dry Potomac. Based in Landover.
