WINCHESTER, KY, UNITED STATES, October 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Ale-8-One rolls out its first-ever Caffeine Free flavor this fall just ahead of the busy Holiday season. The limited release Cranberry Ale-8 is set to hit shelves at the end of October, adding a true Holiday classic to the Company’s expanding flavor portfolio. This brand-new addition from Kentucky’s historic soda brand, is bursting with fresh cranberry flavor, a hint of cinnamon, and Ale-8’s signature ginger flavor profile.
Available in retailers across the Commonwealth the last week of October, the limited-edition glass 4-packs will also be sold in limited quantities at select stores in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Tennessee. Cranberry Ale-8 delivers pure flavor with every sip using 100% real sugar, natural colors, and no gluten, and has 120 calories per bottle. Additionally, Cranberry Ale-8 will be available for a limited time on fountain at Windy Corner in Lexington and B&N Food Market in Bagdad, and later this year, in special drinks at the Maker’s Mark Distillery in Loretto.
“Cranberry Ale-8 was the perfect flavor to introduce as our first Caffeine Free flavor, something our fans have been asking for,” said Ellen McGeeney, CEO, Ale-8-One Bottling Company. “Traditionally, cranberry flavors are caffeine free and a great addition to holiday celebrations with family and friends.”
“Cranberry Ale-8 was inspired by holiday memories with family and friends,” said Daphne Phipps, Director of Product Excellence and Innovation. “It was exciting to develop Ale-8’s first Caffeine Free flavor, but we also wanted to add a slight twist on cranberry-flavored soda with that hint of cinnamon to tie well with all the cooking and baking our fans are doing this holiday season.”
Cranberry Ale-8 debuts on the heels of Ale-8’s 100-year birthday festivities in August where thousands came to downtown Winchester to celebrate this milestone achievement. One of the most recognizable and iconic brands in Kentucky, Ale-8-One is committed to listening to fans and delivering quality products that meet the moment.
