Cooking Channel show features HOTLIPS

Hello HOTLIPS Soda fans,

We are thrilled to announce that The Cooking Channel has made a FoodCrafters segment on HOTLIPS Soda! The crew spent a full day with us in Portland at the HQ for interviews and stories, filmed Dave making pie, Jeana spinning the visuals, then we escorted them out to McMinnville for some Seussian science at the soda plant.

FoodCrafters featuring HOTLIPS airs Monday @ 7 p.m. PST
In Portland, it’s channel #184 on Comcast, #113 on Dish Network, and #232 on DIRECTTV

Another super announcement…

We are releasing HOTLIPS Cherry Soda to our distributors in early August. We brewed about a month ago and have been taste testing and sampling the Cherry Soda around town to raves and contented “ohhhh yessss’s.”

If you see a mysterious brown bottle with only the HOTLIPS logo on it at a farmers market in the next couple weeks, take a taste. It is at once subtle and true to dark red cherry flavor and deeply complex with an inherent cola-like caramel, taste unfolding as the soda rolls over the tongue. Yet, all that’s in there is cherries, cane sugar and a hint of vanilla. The Cherry Soda also weighs in with fewer calories than its siblings so that may make it more attractive to some fans as well.

Tip one up for health and happiness! Take it straight or mix with pretty much any ice cream or spirits.

As always, our most sincere thanks to you for being a HOTLIPS friend and fan.

Jeana and David

  We've had great response from all over the country every time this show is aired. Plus a lot of web sales of soda, glasses and jam have been generated. Many thanks to The Cooking Channel and the FoodCrafters team for showcasing HOTLIPS Soda.

  The cherry soda is also receiving good response, though it is apparent that what many folks think of as true cherry flavor is really fake cherry flavor, like gum, cheap ice cream and lousy cherry soda. So, we are intensifying the flavor a bit and increasing the carbonation slightly in the next batch. However, we are staying true to the taste of real dark sweet cherries, the fruit that is finding its way into HOTLIPS Cherry Soda. Tell us what you think, please. Try it with wheat beer - hefeweisen - it's superlative.
