Info needed for Georgia, Atlanta or Macon

[407dm]

Hi all

 

I am planning my Carnival Fascination trip to Jacksonville and I will be coming through Georgia, several people have asked me to get some Blenheims soda when I am in the area. If anyone can help me with some grocery stores or anyplace that stocks it please pass on this info.

 

Thanks in advance.

I found your soda it's a ginger ale. These are some spots sold in Georgia

David's Produce and Country Store - Decatur, GA

Clocked Restaurant in Athens Georgia

They are also sold in N.Carolina and S. Carolina I'll continue to look into it for you.

Good luck with your quest for the mysterious HOT Ginger Ale. Blenheims is not the kind of thing you run into Publix, Piggly Wiggly, Kroger, Walmart, etc. and find.

 

Not sure of your route, assuming you will be going up 75, and through the ATL, your best bet is David’s Produce 3561 Lavista Rd Decatur, GA 30033 (404) 325-0709.

 

I would call before driving there, it's about 30 minutes (each way) out of your way!

I also was born in Georgia and have lived here my entire life and I have never heard of that soda.

You can get it at country stores near Charleston, SC... have drank it before... the Hot is HOT... even the mild is a bit hot for one who has never drank "real" ginger ale.

You need to go into South Carolina to find it.

Same here, born & raised in Georgia.........both Atlanta & Macon are only 2 hours away from here, and never heard of it either.:confused:

Thanks for all the help.

 

I knew that it was a very regional product but it must be very regional.

 

I will check out the places and also keep looking.

 

thanks

Looks like it might be a South Carolina thing.

A national advertising campaign for Blenheim Ginger Ale began in 1903 with an ad appearing in The New Yorker Magazine. This near century old company is still in existence today, making the same high quality ginger ale.

 

A recent excerpt from The New York Times, reads "Blenheim Ginger Ale, the pride of South Carolina, pulls no punches, and its feisty approach has propelled it from modest regional fame to cult status...

Just north of Atlanta. It's at Fresh Market. They only have it in six pack glass bottles. I'm not sure of the exit number off 75 but it's the Dobbins AFB and Delk Road exit. The store is located probably about 15 minutes from the interstate. You can go to their website www.freshmarket.com to get directions because I suck at giving them. I just called and they have it in stock now.

BTW, it's also available in diet.

This really brings back memories...my ex-hubby was born in Bennettsville, SC and everytime we drove to SC we had to stop and buy a Blenhiem (sp) soda at this little bitty roadside store. Man, that is some nasty stuff. It comes in flavors, orange, grape, etc. and that helps a little but it is Spicy Hot Ginger ale.:eek:

 

I had no idea anyone, anywhere would ever want that stuff...go figure!

I get one about once a month at Boone Hall...

But I drink Vernors also (another ginger ale)

[LemurCat]

I've heard of it, but mainly from internet sites that taste test odd foods.

[oscar's mom]

I have lived in SC my whole life and have never heard of this Ginger Ale. I live in the up country so maybe it is a low country drink.
