Kentucky's soft drink

You guessed it

[Uncle Dave]

LOL!! Not surprised. Virginia, I believe I saw a bottle of Ale 8 on an episode of Justified.

I understand the Ale-8 thing here, but I have always fancied myself a SKI man.

I was wondering how many folks from the SKI camp would protest.

I am decidedly in the Ale 8 camp. Although my friends from Campbellsville will have none of it.

I like Ale-8. Diet Ale-8 has a weird aftertaste. I can tolerate it, but it's probably the strangest soft drink I drink--and I like virtually all of them. (Nehi FTW?)

My friend absolutely kills Diet Ale-8 though. Takes coolers of it with him in the car.

I don't like the diet version either. With coke, pepsi, etc., I prefer diet, but I agree the Ale-8 has an aftertaste reminiscent of the original Tab.

I protest not!

If not for Ale-8 and its distributor I wouldn't get SKI here in Lexington. So the enemy of my friend, is my friend...or something along those lines, I guess.

AHHH...The Winchester delight! Love, love, love me some Ale 8. I laugh when I hear these soda snobs correct me and say, "Oh. You mean Ale 8 One?" Whatever douchebag.

I was born in Winchester 71 years ago, and it has always been Ale 8. Never have I heard it called Ale 8 One. When I was a little kid, I was out fishing on the Red River with my father one day. There was a drainage pipe coming out of the bank into the river, gushing water. My Dad told me that was where Ale 8 came from, and of course I believed that until I was smart enough to know better.

Ale-8 man, here. I live around Cumberland Gap (on the TN side) and am still fortunate enough to be able to find Ale-8 in the local shops.

Ale-8 tastes best when it's purchased from Miguel's at RRG.

I came this close to saying the exact same thing. Can you find those bottles anywhere else? I've only seen that size at Miguel's.

[DA#23]

Can you find those bottles anywhere else?

Oh Yeah. They're returnable for recycling.

Walk through the Gorge until you're well tired, go to Miguel's, order two slices your way, and 2 Ale-8's: one for now and the other for when the pie is ready. That's my routine.

There's no other way. Those big bottles hold a deceptively small amount of soda. Even if I try to pace myself, the first one's always empty by the time the food arrives.

First time I ever had Ale 8 was at Miquels. Awesome pizza there, though the rock climbing snobs can be a little, well, snobby. Yeah buddy you can climb and I can't but let's grab the ball and play some 21 while I wait for my food.
