Their ginger beer is pretty darn good too.......makes a Dark n Stormy really come alive.Blenheim -- yeah, that stuff is wild. I can go for their regular ginger ale, but the hot stuff is more than I want to handle (and I love spicy stuff). My father is a major fan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EL the Famous Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 ? The drink was developed in 1919 by the Schoenhofen Brewery of Chicago as a non-alcoholic product for the Prohibition era. It was popular for decades as a soda fountain syrup, trailing only Coca Cola in popularity. However, after Prohibition ended in 1933 the Schoenhofen Brewery made Green River a second priority to alcoholic drinks. The Brewery then closed in 1950. It was a fountain drink during the '60s in some drugstore fountains. The drink is now produced by the Clover Club Bottling Corp. of Chicago. It is frequently marketed as a nostalgia item and can be found in some 1950s-themed restaurants, all Hackney's restaurants, or more generally in supermarkets during the days leading up to St. Patrick's Day. The ingredients of the drink are: Carbonated water, high fructose corn sweetener, citric acid, natural lime oils, yellow #5, and blue #1. There is also a diet version, without sugar. The name for the Creedence Clearwater Revival album Green River was inspired by the drink according to Tom Fogerty. there was a local golf course my buddies and i would play on back in grade school/junior high...they had it on the fountain there. hard to explain what it tastes like, but it was awesome. it came back in two-liter format sometime in the 90's, but it wasn't the same.

Sir Stewart Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 New York Seltzer was a favorite of mine when I was like 14. Actually, I just thought it might be cool to be known as the kid who drinks New York Seltzer all the time - I didn't like it all that much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
