Title: Who has had Boylan's Post by: Pat Pixley on February 27, 2009, 06:37:58 pm Just wondering if any of you guy's or gal's have had any
of Boylan vintage Soda ? I bought a 4 pack today I thought I would give it a shoot. So if you have had it, pipe in and let me know. Title: Re: Who has had Boylan's Post by: bubba on February 27, 2009, 08:19:07 pm Boylans Black Cherry, orange cream and grape are my favorite sodas in the world... Their root beer and birch beer are very good also. I wasn't impressed with the cola. The orange soda is good too.... They also have a ginger ale I haven't tried. I don't like cream soda, but theirs is supposed to be very good also.. Their plant isn't far from my work, but they don't sell or do tours on site. Normally they go for $4 a 4 pack around here. I can get a 15 pack for $13 in one of the local groceries by me.
Title: Re: Who has had Boylan's Post by: mznb1u on February 27, 2009, 09:58:11 pm They sell A 15? pack of Boylan Diet Soda at Costco. I think it had black cherry, cream soda androot beer. It was good but they must use a lot of Splenda in it because it was much sweeter than I could handle. The boys loved it! It did vend very well from the USS-8-64.
:drinking: Tim :drinking: Title: Re: Who has had Boylan's Post by: Pat Pixley on February 27, 2009, 11:13:41 pm Well I just got home and pop the top on a bottle of Boylan 's Grape and that was not
to bad , and to boot it fit well in the Vendo 56 so I think I will go out and buy one or two 4 packs of the Grape :drinking:. Title: Re: Who has had Boylan's Post by: TechnoHat on February 27, 2009, 11:27:07 pm I've had Boylan's. Their Root Beer isn't very good in my opinion. The Organic Root Beer might be better, but I haven't had it. The Grape, Orange, Orange Cream, Cream Soda, Black Cherry and Ginger Ale are all excellent. The Birch Beer and Creamy Red Birch beer are OK, but I'm not a fan of Birch Beer in general as I find it too chalky tasting. Other than the Root Beer, I give Boylan's a big Thumbs-Up!
Title: Re: Who has had Boylan's Post by: halehouse on February 28, 2009, 08:41:56 am I used to buy their Black Cherry, but can't find it anymore. It was very good. :down:
Sam's Club used to carry the 15 pack, but discontinued it. My Costco doesn't have it either. Title: Re: Who has had Boylan's Post by: TomFromJersey on February 28, 2009, 10:14:33 am As Bubba said, it's bottled here in New Jersey, so it's available in most deli's and liquor outlets. I like the grape, red birch beer, and ginger ale. Don't care for the root beer or cola.
Since the Chicago Show is right around the corner, I always wind up purchasing some soda at the show from retro soda. DR Pepper and Dad's root beer both made with cane sugar, they are my favorite, but pricey @ over $30 a case. They used to have Mt Dew with cane sugar but none for the last few years, if anyone knows where I can get this please let me know. The last I heard, a plant in GA was bottleing some. It's like rocket fuel for the kids.

Title: Re: Who has had Boylan's Post by: Larry on February 28, 2009, 02:35:47 pm Black Cherry is the best. Costco only sells the diet now.
I always throw in their suggestion box, at their door, to buy Boylan soda whenever I go with the wife. Maybe if everyone writes a suggestion they might go for it. I talked to corporate and their profit margin was too low. I also tried to get Mexican Coke in the Chicagoland Costco's, but that didn't work either. Title: Re: Who has had Boylan's Post by: GreginNM on March 15, 2009, 09:46:19 am I just found some in San Antonio at the Central Market, so I picked up a 4 pack of Grape and one of Black Cherry. You guys got my curiosity up!
Title: Re: Who has had Boylan's Post by: Seven181 on March 15, 2009, 10:06:32 pm I have a good friend (former boss) who works for Boylan's out in Seattle. He says they are growing, but still underdeveloped as a brand.
Brian Title: Re: Who has had Boylan's Post by: Pat Pixley on March 15, 2009, 10:18:28 pm Brian let your former Boss know the Grape was good , But there Need to be a Deposit on the
bottles for MI, the Recycling would not even take the bottles :oh: Title: Re: Who has had Boylan's Post by: Seven181 on March 16, 2009, 09:41:01 am I will tell him. That is strange, as they should have a deposit on it. I will see if he can get us any coupons???? I have never tried the brand.
Brian Title: Re: Who has had Boylan's Post by: GreginNM on March 16, 2009, 10:49:04 am I had the Black Cherry last night...two thumbs up!! It's really good, can't wait to try the Grape now. Brian, they had these and also the Ginger Beer, diet Black Cherry, and something else at Central Market, and were on sale.
Title: Re: Who has had Boylan's Post by: GreginNM on March 16, 2009, 09:05:15 pm Had the grape tonight...fantastic! Hey Pat, the bottles of grape I got have MI 10 cents deposit written on them. Strange that the ones up there wouldn't!
Title: Re: Who has had Boylan's Post by: TechnoHat on March 25, 2009, 10:14:27 am Brian let your former Boss know the Grape was good , But there Need to be a Deposit on the bottles for MI, the Recycling would not even take the bottles :oh: All bottles sold in Michigan have deposit. If the store wouldn't take them back it's either because they don't sell Boylan's or else someone just forgot to punch the upc number into the returnable machine. If the machine doesn't take it and they sell the soda at the store, just take the bottles up to the service counter for your deposit. My local Econo Foods sells A&W and have for years, but nobody ever bothers to punch the upc codes for the bottles into the bottle machine, so I always have to haul them up to the service counter. You also have to watch out for the clueless employee as well. I've had employees at various stores tell me they don't sell a particular brand when I know for a fact that I bought it at that very store and the bottles even have the stores distinctive price stickers on them still. Title: Re: Who has had Boylan's Post by: vendo39 on March 25, 2009, 01:21:46 pm I stopped by a World market store yesterday to pick up some Bulldog root beer. They didn't have any but they were carrying a bunch of differnet Boylan's sodas.
Here's a store locater http://www.worldmarket.com/content.jsp?sectionId=600 |
