786 Commending Northern Neck Ginger Ale.

  Agreed to by the House of Delegates, February 11, 2019 Agreed to by the Senate, February 14, 2019   WHEREAS, Northern Neck Ginger Ale, a beloved locally made product and an institution in the Montross community, has delighted connoisseurs of one of the world’s most well-known soft drinks with its unique taste for more than 90 years;

and WHEREAS, Northern Neck Ginger Ale was first produced by Arthur Carver, Sr., of Northern Neck Bottling Company in 1926 and was originally known as Carver’s Special;

the recipe called for only three ingredients:

ginger extract, cane sugar, and artesian well water;

and WHEREAS, the name was changed to Northern Neck Ginger Ale in 1932, and a second blend known as Carver’s Original was introduced in 1992;

the company also began offering a diet variant known for its even stronger ginger flavor;

and WHEREAS, a hometown favorite, Northern Neck Ginger Ale was a hidden gem sold almost exclusively on the Northern Neck for much of its history;

ownership of Northern Neck Bottling Company passed down through the Carver family until 2002, when the Coca-Cola Company purchased the rights to distribute the company’s acclaimed products;

and WHEREAS, Northern Neck Ginger Ale was designated as one of “Virginia’s Finest” products by the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, in recognition of Northern Neck Coca-Cola Bottling Company’s commitment to using only the finest ingredients;

and WHEREAS, in addition to its well-earned state and national accolades, Northern Neck Ginger Ale’s devoted following has made it a symbol of the region and a facet of local culture for generations;

now, therefore, be it RESOLVED by the House of Delegates, the Senate concurring, That the General Assembly hereby commend Northern Neck Ginger Ale for more than years as a Northern Neck icon;

and, be it RESOLVED FURTHER, That the Clerk of the House of Delegates prepare a copy of this resolution for presentation to Northern Neck Coca-Cola Bottling, Inc., as an expression of the General Assembly’s admiration for Northern Neck Ginger Ale’s history and success as a Virginia-made product.
