I never cared for National Bohemian, which I never heard being referred to as "Natty Boh" until recently. We always called it "National", "Boh", or "geezer beer". I did like National Premium, which has recently returned to the market, being produced by a different company that the one that produces National Bohemian.
Here in Quebec, there's nothing really unique. Aside from poutine. Everything else, is either imported goods, or some cheap rip off of it. Right now I'm drinking a powerade, that's made from the coca-cola company, and manufactured in Toronto lol Do we have nothing original here. Molson beer, and poutine, that's about it.
Poutine is not a beverage though...
Most of the beverages unique to Quebec would be alcoholic.
You just have to go to an Insane Clown Posse (better yet a gathering of the juggalos) show and you'll see all the Faygo your heart could desire. Granted that's a hefty price to pay.
I grew up drinking store brand soda in New Jersey: A&P had Yukon Club, Grand Union had Penguin, etc. My Mom used to also shop at Acme and Shop Rite but I don't remember their house brands.
White Rock soda used to be widely available in the Greater New York City area but now it's pretty much confined to Queens.
I have a source for Moxie in 12-packs in Stroudsburg PA near where I live now.
I used to be able to get Cherikee Red at a local supermarket in Stroudsburg but I haven't seen it in a few years. I looked them up, and they are still in business but not available near me.
I remember White Rock soda....other than that we didn't really drink that much soda growing up, except for barbeques. I grew up in the early to mid 70's. There was Wyler's drink mix or its famous counterpart Kool Aid in the summer every once in a while, but we were limited to water the other 95% of the time lol. Mmmmmmm....ice cold New York City water - the best
My mom would send me to the store a couple Fridays a month for a large bottle of Coca-Cola (back then large was 16 oz) and a fifth of white rum (I was 9 or 10, but back in the day we could purchase these items with a note from Mom/Dad, plus the liquor store guy knew us....today it is blasphemeous and poor Mr. Patterson would probably be thrown in jail
Here in Houston they serve mostly an almost 'sickly sweet' sweet tea. I've also seen sodas called Big Red, Big Peach and Welch's Strawberry soda. I have not seen these anywhere else.

I'm not sure many folks here know what one of those gatherings is like.
Forgot to put Dr. Brown's Cel-Ray and Manhattan Special in my egg cream post. Cel-Ray is celery soda. Manhattan Special is coffee soda.
I've seen Cel-Ray in the deli, but I've never tried one.
