Frank,

I moved from Virginia/North Carolina to Akron, Ohio in 1971.  I distinctly
remember seeing Vernor's Ginger Ale(and I think Creme Soda) in a Deli in
Cleveland in 1972.  I just emailed a buddy here in Northern Ohio and he
thinks he drank Vernor's in the 1970's also.

As far as I know, it has been available here since that time.  I don't tend
to buy it, so I'm just going on my gut feeling about it being available
since that time.

Perhaps you're from longer ago than that time frame?
