Small Town Brewery is now part of the Pabst Brewing Company portfolio of beer brands. After creating the hard soda category with the launch of Not Your Fathers Root Beer in 2012, the Small Town Brewery has gone on to release several additional flavors including NYF Ginger Ale, and NYF Vanilla Cream Ale. Diet Mountain Dew is actually the ninth best selling carbonated soft drink. Only Coke, Pepsi, and Diet Coke sell more. PepsiCo acquired the brand in 1964 and today Mountain Dew is the fourth best selling carbonated soft drink in the USA. After several changes in ownership and recipes, the Tip Corporation of Marion Virginia created the current formula and re-launched the brand in 1961. Mountain Dew is a slang term for moonshine and the original formula was developed as a mixer in the 1940’s. Not Your Fathers Mountain Ale as the name would suggest is a hard soda version of Mountain Dew. Bud Light Seltzer Hard Soda is sold in a 4 flavor 12 can variety pack. It is made from a cold fermented cane sugar alcohol base with natural flavors, malted rice, and sucralose. The new Bud Light Seltzer Hard Soda tips the scales with 100 calories and only 2 carbs. So what is different this time around? For starters Best Damn Root Beer weighed in with 239 calories and 11 carbs. Miller-Coors with Henrys Hard Soda, and Boston Beer Company with their Coney Island brand. All of the big boys invested big bucks to develop and promote their hard soda brands. A-B launched Best Damn Root Beer in 2015 and followed that up with Best Damn Cherry Cola, and Best Damn Cream Soda. This is not the first Anheuser Busch produced hard soda. Hard Soda seems like something our parents drank when they were younger, but the truth is the Hard Soda product category only goes back to 2012 when Tim Kovac created Not Your Fathers Root Beer at his Small Town Brewery in Wauconda Illinois. I was able to get my hands on a 12 pack a little early. Bud Light Seltzer Hard Soda will be released early January 2022.
