Our Lavender Lemon Soda made it to the Investing in Rural America Conference in Asheville! 💜🍋 So proud to see a little taste of Haywood County in such good company.

Thank you for the sweet shoutout, Mountain BizWorks!

Spotted by a Mountain BizWorks team member at the Investing in Rural America Conference: a local favorite! 🥤Western North Carolina makers like Waynesville Soda Jerks showing up at a national conference about rural economies is exactly what we love to see. Cheers to small businesses!

What a week to be tourists in our own backyard! 🤗🌄✨

The Jerks were all over Haywood County in the last few days. We poured sodas for the Society of American Travel Writers conference at Lake Junaluska, welcomed guests behind the scenes at our production facility, and soaked up the fun at the Fall Block Party on Waynesville’s Main Street. 🍂 Of course, we had to refuel with some local favorites from Waynesville Main Street Diner and Joey's Pancake House! 🥞

Weeks like this remind us that some of the best small business magic is right here at home. Big thanks to SATW and Visit Haywood for the love, light, and connections. We’re lucky to have such an amazing local tourism team cheering us on. 💙

Something wickedly delicious is brewing in the cauldron at our Waynesville production facility… 😈🔮

Our most popular craft soda, Raspberry Cream Soda, is bubbling away for a fresh batch! That deep, vibrant-red hue comes straight from real raspberries. No dyes, nothing artificial, just the natural beauty of the fruit.

Do you dare take a sip? 🩷 Swing by the gift shop and taste it on draft for yourself. We’re open 10 AM–6 PM through Saturday at 35 Bridges Street. 👻

Special flower delivery from a fellow Jerk 🤗💐

Our sweet customer Carley stopped by the gift shop last week and surprised us with a bouquet straight from her own garden. Just look at those colors! 🌼🌸 WNC’s fall harvest at its finest, and it truly brightened our whole week.

And that familiar brown bottle vase? It’s Carley’s favorite flavor, our Blackberry Serrano Soda, of course. 🌶️

Thank you so much, Carley, for such a thoughtful and beautiful gift. 🥹

If you’ve been looking for ways to reuse or recycle your empty bottles (unfortunately, we can’t reuse them in production), take a cue from Carley! A little water and a few fresh blooms go a long way.

Have a great week ahead, everyone!

Bar-quality cocktail? You’re just a Soda Jerk away. 🍋💜

Our “Jerk” Megan grabbed a bottle of our Lavender Lemon Soda over the weekend and added a splash of gin. Bright citrus, a soft floral finish, and just enough fizz to keep everything refreshing. Just pour and sip! We do the hard work for you with our handcrafted sodas.

That’s the beauty of real, simple ingredients. Our sodas are made to stand on their own, but they also make the easiest mixers for bar-quality cocktails (or mocktails!) right at home. 🍸

Stock up for your home bar this week. We’re open 10 AM to 6 PM today through Saturday, so swing by and see us before the Main Street Fall Block Party kicks off this evening! 🍂

Go for a spin with our Raspberry Cream Soda! 💗🌀

This is our bottle collection table, the final stop in the bottling process before one of our awesome production Jerks packs everything into 24-bottle cases. It’s just one of the many steps that go into making our farm fresh, handcrafted sodas from start to finish, right here at our production facility in Waynesville.

Raspberry Cream is by far our most popular soda flavor, and it’s on draft in the gift shop for you to try! While you’re here, peek through our production doors and catch a glimpse of the soda magic for yourself. ✨

Come see us today through Saturday from 10am–6pm at 35 Bridges St. in Waynesville, NC. 🫧
