🍌✨ Say hello to the Kentucky Banana!

Ale-8-One and Kentucky State University are teaming up to launch Pawpaw Ale-8, a limited-edition tropical twist on the iconic Kentucky soda — and it’s landing on shelves this August! 🥤🌴

Crafted with real sugar, no dyes, and packed with the exotic flavor of pawpaw (yes, Kentucky’s native “banana”), this collab is straight from the heart of the Bluegrass 🍃 Made possible by the world’s only full-time pawpaw research program at KSU, this is a sip of summer you won’t want to miss.

Catch it in a 4-pack across the Commonwealth while it lasts! 👀
