Yinzer Pop will feature four original flavors: Allegheny River Water (cola), Orange Belt (orange), Sahside Sangria (grape) and Blawnox Boilermaker (root beer), available at Pittsburgh-area Grandpa Joe’s Candy Shops and online.

With a name like Allegheny River Water, you know it’s got to be from Pittsburgh.

But would you drink it?

It’s the latest pop — not soda — beverage from Yinzer Brands, the creators of Pittsburgh-centric greeting cards known as Yinzer Cards.

The company is collaborating with Grandpa Joe’s Candy Shop for the aforementioned cola-flavored Allegheny River Water, orange-flavored Orange Belt, root beer Blawnox Boilermaker and grape Sahside Sangria.

“Order a soda in Pittsburgh and you’re most likely to be considered an outsider,” said Yinzer Brands co-founder, comedian and radio personality Jim Krenn in a statement. “It’s called pop, not soda because, let’s face it, soda is something you bake with.”

The pop is available in 12-ounce glass bottles for $2.49 at 18 Grandpa Joe’s locations and on its website. Cans are available from the Yinzer Dogs food truck co-owned by Krenn, cartoonist Rob Rogers, KDKA radio’s Larry Richert, publicist Dick Roberts and Richert’s brother-in-law, NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino.

“Partnering with Yinzer Brands to bring Yinzer Pop to life was a natural fit for us,” said Grandpa Joe’s founder Christopher J. Beers in a statement. “Our stores have always been about offering unique, fun products and nothing says Pittsburgh like proudly calling it pop instead of soda. We’re thrilled to be part of a collaboration that embraces our local roots and delivers something that our fellow Yinzers will love.”
