We’ve got a sticky-finger situation at Waynesville Soda Jerks… 👀‼️

Someone (or something!) has been sneaking around our gift shop + production facility this week, and our craft sodas have gone missing. We don’t know who it is… but we have our suspicions. 🕵️👣 Visit Smokies any ideas on the culprit?

You’ve got until Saturday to stop by and spot the suspect before he vanishes again! Open 10am-6pm today through Saturday.

Come see what all the fuss is about— and maybe you’ll spot him first. 😏

📍35 Bridges St, Waynesville, NC from 10AM-6PM Tuesday—Saturday

📞 Ring ring… it’s apple season calling! 🍎

Last week, our production crew of “Jerks,” Juno and Clay, answered the call: 30 bushels of fresh, Haywood County-grown apples, a mix of several varieties currently in season. Washed, juiced, and slowly transformed into our Apple Rosemary syrup, one batch at a time.

These apples come to us through our partnership with Miss Kathy Taylor of KT's Orchard and Apiary and we’re proud to be an ASAP - Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project partner business— keeping our ingredients local and our community connected from orchard to bottle. 💚

Our crew makes it look easy… but it is no easy task! 😅

Last day to vote! Apple Rosemary Soda is in the running for the NC Chamber of Commerce’s Coolest Thing Made in NC— voting for round one closes at 9pm TONIGHT. NC Chamber

Meet the syrups that started it all. 🍯🌱

It started with a simple question: can our craft syrups go in a SodaStream? Yes ✅— and that curiosity is how Waynesville Soda Jerks came to be back in 2013 with “Jerks” Chris and Megan.

Since then, we’ve learned our craft syrups are good for a lot more than soda. Drizzle one over a charcuterie board, finish a dessert with it, build a cocktail around it— with a short, honest ingredient list, the possibilities are up to you.

Made right here in our Waynesville, NC production facility, with flavors inspired by and grown around us in Southern Appalachia. Available in 4/8/16oz sizes— stop by for a bottle and a recipe card to get started. 😌

Open Tuesday through Saturday, 10AM to 6PM.

Not local? We’ll ship the mountains straight to your door. Head to our online store for mix-and-match craft soda packs, Soda Jerks merch, and more. 🏔️

And don’t forget— our Apple Rosemary Soda is up for NC’s Coolest Thing Made competition! 🍎 Vote once a day, link in bio. It truly means the world to us. 🙏
