Northern Neck Ginger Ale was a regional ginger ale sold in the Northern Neck region of Virginia for 94 years from 1926 until its discontinuation in 2020.
History
Northern Neck Ginger Ale was created in 1926 by Arthur Carver in Montross, Virginia.[1] The ginger ale was developed from a family recipe made during prohibition, and was originally sold as Carver's Ginger Ale. It was bottled in Montross until 2001 under Carver's company, Northern Neck Brewing Co., which also bottled Coca-Cola products under license. It was sold in the Northern Neck region and nearby areas such as Fredericksburg and Richmond.[2] The recipe was sold to Coca-Cola in 2001, who then moved production to Sandston, Virginia.[3] Production was discontinued in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]
