ANN ARBOR – Grand Traverse company Northwoods Soda has partnered with Ann Arbor food giant Zingerman’s to bring its Michigan-made beverages downstate.
Northwoods Soda & Syrup Co. founder Bill Fosdick created the company in 1988 while experimenting with better-quality soda flavors in his basement. Zingerman’s Delicatessen now offers 11 of those at its Kerrytown sandwich spot and its Next Door Cafe.

Flavors currently available include cola, diet cola, root beer, vanilla cream, black cherry cream, ginger ale, blue raspberry, grapefruit and sparkling pomegranate lemonade. The soda fountain also has two unsweetened drinks, blueberry acai soda water and rhubarb lavender soda water.
