Bill > SR42

This resolution, originating from the Senate of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, formally honors Ale-8-One on its 100th anniversary, recognizing its establishment in 1902 by George Lee Wainscott in Winchester, Kentucky, and the subsequent release of the beverage, originally named "A Late One," in 1926. The resolution highlights Ale-8-One's significant contributions as a founding member of the Kentucky Proud Program, which champions products grown and made in Kentucky, and acknowledges its role as a local employer with 120 employees in Winchester and surrounding areas. It further emphasizes the company's commitment to its secret family recipe, hand-blended by the fourth-generation owner, and celebrates its receipt of the Bluegrass Steward Award in 2025 for its stewardship, support of the Kentucky Proud Program, and community contributions. The resolution concludes by affirming Ale-8-One's unique status as the only soft drink invented and still produced in Kentucky, and directs that the Senate adjourn in celebration of this milestone.
