Green River Soda to Hawaii? Not Possible—It's Discontinued

The End of a Chicago Classic

Green River soda is no longer produced and cannot be shipped to Hawaii—or anywhere else.

What Was Green River?

• Origin: Chicago, 1919 (Schoenhofen Edelweiss Brewing Co.).
• Flavor: Lime-lemon, bright green color.
• Cultural Icon: St. Patrick's Day staple; "Green River" dyeing tradition.
• Producers: Schoenhofen → Cerveza Modelo (1990s) → WIT Beverage (2010s).

Discontinuation

WIT Beverage ceased production ~2021–2022. No current manufacturer. Remaining stock sold out. No announced revival.

Alternatives for Hawaii (or Anywhere)

• DIY: Lime juice + simple syrup + club soda + green food coloring.
• Similar Commercial: Faygo Moon Mist (lime-lemon, green), Mountain Dew (citrus, yellow-green), Jarritos Lime (clear), local craft sodas.
• Syrups: Torani, Monin, or homemade lime syrup + sparkling water.

If you're in Hawaii craving that neon-green nostalgia, you'll have to mix it yourself—or convince a craft soda maker to revive the legend.
