Title: '70s beverage question...
Post by: DiabloTX on August 31, 2003, 05:38:59 PM

Back in the mid-70s, there was a soda/cider made that was called 'Viking Brew' or 'Viking Beer' or something along those lines.  It was made from apples, tasted like beer, sorta, and was sold along side the Cokes and Pepsi's at the local 7-11 or Stop'n'Go.  It was sold in a white can with a black label.  I think it was pulled off of the market due to its likeness to beer and the effect it had on kids as to drinking alcohol.  Does anyone remember this?
