A lot of small bottling companies died off, and many great drinks were lost with them.

My favorites that aren’t around anymore are Marvel’s Gingerale and Frostie Root Beer (although it came back for a couple years around 2000).

Plus, don’t get me started about Maryland Rye Whisky going extinct.

Yes, but SunCrest isn't one of them. It is still bottled and sold by the Dad's Root Beer Company, but not marketed very widely.

I'd like FReepers who actually have access to the current product to identify where it can be purchased regularly rather than as a nostalgia specialty.

When I lived in Charlotte, I drank Cheerwine like it was water...

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen Frostie Root Beer at Bristol Farms in CA.
