WBC began in 1988 in a pub on Goose Island, a little spit of land in the North branch of the Chicago River a stone's throw to the Northwest of the Loop in downtown Chicago. The Mars Wrigley offices are on Goose Island today. In 2021, Wisconsin-based Sprecher Brewing purchased WIT Beverages, which owned WBC and Green River.
This is a heft 16oz bottle and it provides a rich black cherry aroma when opening. I'd say this bottle provides an average level of carbonation. As far as black cherry sodas go, it's ok. I've certainly had better, but I will say it's very smooth, probably owing partially to using real sugar rather than high fructose corn syrup or artificial sweeteners. However, beware that a full 16oz serving contains 60 grams of sugar. It does taste a bit "old-worldly" as though it was poured from a wood barrel, so it's got that going for it.
