More About Ale-8-One:
Bottled in Winchester since 1926, Ale-8-One is the only soft drink invented in Kentucky still in existence. Founder and inventor, G.L. Wainscott, hit upon the formula after experimenting with ginger-blended recipes acquired during travels in northern Europe.
Wainscott began bottling Ale–8–One in 1926. To choose a name for the drink, he sponsored a name-the-product contest. “A Late One” was chosen as the winning entry. The “Ale–8–One” name is a pun of the phrase suggesting that his product was “the latest thing” in soft drinks.
