Grocery store worker here you can find what’s left of it around the Hartford area but unless the product guys have steered me wrong it’s basically been discontinued alongside tab

Discontinued? Like they don’t make it anymore. I come from Maine, and it’s pretty much everywhere. Just figured I could get some down here for my relatives, but maybe not.

I’ve seen 12 packs of Moxie cans recently at Highland Park Market in Farmington, Big Y in Plainville, and Gnazzo’s IGA in Plainville.

They regularly stock it in the stop and shops in the northwest corner. Winsted in particular. Far drive but worth it for displaced Mainers!

You'd have to looka round local stop and shops but I found out that the Big Y usually has them. Can be wrong but if anything you could always buy it online probably

Why get Moxie, when you can have Hosmerrrrrrr

Hosmer mountain soda shack usually has some. It's on Spencer St Manchester. Give them a call!

Check out a small grocery chain possibly Windham IGA. You do mean the old school drink?

Last I knew Shop Rite in Manchester carried it.

But hosmer has root beer, orange soda, grape soda, black cherry soda, et cetera, which taste a little different of course but are the same flavors/types of soda that other companies make. Moxie is one of those flavors/types of soda but I’ve never seen any other brand make that flavor.

Not sure about moxie, but you can definitely get chutzpah.

Get Foxon Park Iron Brew. Both taste like trash, to me.

Stop & Shop can order it for if it’s not on that specific store’s shelves. It comes from coke.

It’s been so long since I’ve tried it that I do not remember the taste of regular Moxie. Knowing this I’ll likely never try it again. I won’t be able to wipe my brain of this possibility.

If there's a cracker barrel nearby, that's normally a safe bet.

You can 100% get it at the Willimantic food co-op!

You can get the State Soft Drink of Maine (lookitup) at Hosmer Mountain Soda Shack in Manchester.

It's like a weird Dr. Pepper or Mr. Pibb. I don't like them either.

I saw it late last year at the Big Y in West Hartford @ 772 North Main Street. Well stocked with cans & bottles.

It was one of the first sodas, created in 1884; about the same age as coke. They were marked as medicinal.

Fun trivia - the soda actually predates the word moxie, meaning determination or nerve - the word is based on the character required to drink the, uhh, "soda."

smkmn13 t1_ja020q7 wrote

While it's certainly not exactly the same, if you're a fan of Moxie's flavor profile, and like to consume adult beverages, a dark amaro (like Ramazzotti) and soda is a great way to go.

Last year when I was in Wallingford at a Big Y, I saw it there and bought every six pack they had on shelf and asked if they had more in the back.

Moxie is very unique in taste and if you had it as a kid, it brings back the memories at times. It's a liquid time machine😁

Haven't seen it since, but I still look for it.

I find most large supermarkets further north may have it, but similar to hunting bourbon, you have to look in odd areas in the soda aisle, it doesn't sell well so they put it in unusual spaces.

Most of the Stop&Shop supermarkets in central CT or at least Middlesex county carry both Moxie and Diet. Love the stuff myself.

Haven’t had that since I was a kid and it was awful then.
