OMG! You can get Moxie in PA......
Ira Schreiber:
Though Birch Beer was a drink of choice growing up, Moxie reminds me of the cough syrup I detested in the same growing up era. IMHO.

Back in my childhood, the hometown doc would mix his own cough syrup. It had a taste similar to Moxie, although uncarbonated. The first time I had a Moxie, it brought back that memory.

Regarding Moxie, Catawissa was a Washington State counterpart, Orca Beverage of Mukilteo, near Seattle. We got a nice tour of the plant from the manager, who really rolled out the red carpet for us when I told her I was a member of the Moxie Congress. She said had they known of our visit ahead of time they could have made a Moxie run for us. Both of these bottlers use cane sweetener, not corn. My wife will drink the cane Moxies but the corn sweetened only as a last resort.
Gary Kraske:
In my early childhood '41 - '45 I remember liking Moxie but when we moved back to Maine in 1949 I tried it and it tasted like burnt Birch Beer flavored pop! Swore of it at that time. P.S. I was 11 at the time.
Ira Schreiber:
After looking at the Moose Brook bridge, it reminds me of the fellow who was walking along the deck counting the spaces between the timbers.
Not paying close attention, he walked of the unfinished end, falling into the brook.
Moral.
