Review: Not Your Fathers Mountain Ale
Not Your Fathers Mountain Ale as the name would suggest is a hard soda version of Mountain Dew. Mountain Dew is a slang term for moonshine and the original formula was developed as a mixer in the 1940’s. After several changes in ownership and recipes, the Tip Corporation of Marion Virginia created the current formula and re-launched the brand in 1961. PepsiCo acquired the brand in 1964 and today Mountain Dew is the fourth best selling carbonated soft drink in the USA. Only Coke, Pepsi, and Diet Coke sell more. Diet Mountain Dew is actually the ninth best selling carbonated soft drink. After creating the hard soda category with the launch of Not Your Fathers Root Beer in 2012, the Small Town Brewery has gone on to release several additional flavors including NYF Ginger Ale, and NYF Vanilla Cream Ale. Small Town Brewery is now part of the Pabst Brewing Company portfolio of beer brands. Not Your Fathers Mountain Ale is brewed as a beer with spices. Natural flavors and FD&C Yellow#5 color are added.
