Northern Neck Ginger Ale cannot go’: Virginians push to keep regional soda in production

Virginians are pushing to keep a soda native to the Commonwealth in production, after it was announced that it would be discontinued.

Northern Neck Ginger Ale will be retired by the end of the year, according to its parent company, Coca-Cola.

“One of the reasons people love it so much is it has an original taste. You can actually taste the ginger in the ginger ale. It’s not as sugary,” said LaWanda Kelly, who grew up on the Northern Neck.
