Allegheny River Water, Sahside Sangria among new Yinzer Pop flavors
Share this post:
With a name like Allegheny River Water, you know it’s got to be from Pittsburgh.
But would you drink it?
It’s the latest pop — not soda — beverage from Yinzer Brands, the creators of Pittsburgh-centric greeting cards known as Yinzer Cards.
The company is collaborating with Grandpa Joe’s Candy Shop for the aforementioned cola-flavored Allegheny River Water, orange-flavored Orange Belt, root beer Blawnox Boilermaker and grape Sahside Sangria.
“Order a soda in Pittsburgh and you’re most likely to be considered an outsider,” said Yinzer Brands co-founder, comedian and radio personality Jim Krenn in a statement. “It’s called pop, not soda because, let’s face it, soda is something you bake with.”
The pop is available in 12-ounce glass bottles for $2.49 at 18 Grandpa Joe’s locations and on its website. Cans are available from the Yinzer Dogs food truck co-owned by Krenn, cartoonist Rob Rogers, KDKA radio’s Larry Richert, publicist Dick Roberts and Richert’s brother-in-law, NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino.
“Partnering with Yinzer Brands to bring Yinzer Pop to life was a natural fit for us,” said Grandpa Joe’s founder Christopher J. Beers in a statement. “Our stores have always been about offering unique, fun products and nothing says Pittsburgh like proudly calling it pop instead of soda. We’re thrilled to be part of a collaboration that embraces our local roots and delivers something that our fellow Yinzers will love.”
