Anyone who has spent some time at Red River Gorge knows what I'm talking about.



Here is a little trivia for those wondering where the name of this indigenous Kentucky soft-drink came from.

"Still a closely guarded family secret, the Ale-8-One formula was developed by G.L. Wainscott in the 1920’s after experimentation with ginger-blended recipes he acquired during extensive travels in Northern Europe. He sponsored one of America’s first “name the product” contests, and “A Late One” was the winning entry. The drink’s logo, Ale-8-One, was adopted as a pun of its description as the latest thing in soft drinks."
