Carolina Beverage partners with Boylan Bottling Company to bring Cheerwine to the Northeast

NEW YORK (April 30, 2024) - Carolina Beverage, the manufacturer of Cheerwine, has announced a strategic partnership with Boylan Bottling Company, appointing them as the exclusive sales and distribution partner for Cheerwine glass bottles in the Northeastern U.S. This move leverages both companies' commitment to quality and opens significant new market opportunities, aiming to expand Cheerwine's presence in the region.

Cheerwine, the Uniquely Southern soda, has 107 years of beverage experience in the South. Still owned and operated by the same family, the popular brand has cultivated a loyal customer base steeped in traditions surrounding their products. Renowned for its signature cherry flavor, Cheerwine adds a touch of Southern charm to any meal.

Boylan Bottling Company, established in 1891 and headquartered in New York City, specializes in premium glass bottle cane sugar sodas. As an independent, family-owned brand, Boylan Bottling has built a robust distribution channel and loyal customer base throughout the Northeastern U.S.

Chase Slepak, COO of Boylan Bottling Company, highlighted the evolution of the partnership, stating, "Our longstanding cooperation with Cheerwine has laid the groundwork for this expanded partnership. Together, we have successfully navigated key retail relationships, and now, with this expanded collaboration, we are poised to better support retailers and distributors in building a craft soda portfolio or strengthening their existing one. This partnership represents an exciting opportunity for both companies to further elevate the craft soda experience in the Northeast."

The partnership between Cheerwine and Boylan Bottling is founded on the steadfast commitment to delivering premium products and upholding timeless traditions. 

Boylan Bottling Company will treat the Cheerwine partnership simply as a line extension to the already popular 12oz Cane Sugar Soda’s. Boylan Bottling now offers three Cheerwine SKUs: Cheerwine Glass Bottle 4-packs, Cheerwine Zero Sugar Glass Bottle 4-packs, and Cheerwine Glass Bottle 12oz.

While Cheerwine and Boylan are creating synergies nationally, Retailers and Distributors across NJ, NY, CT, RI, MA, VT, NH, and ME can now stock up on Cheerwine courtesy of Boylan Bottling Company.
