It’s been years since Temagami Dry fans have sipped a crisp ginger ale.
A new website and social media pages suggest the wait for a fresh cold one could soon be over.
The beloved brand that first started in 1916 seems to be in the process of a relaunch.

When Cochrane’s Fortier Beverages announced it would stop making Temagami Dry in 2019, the Municipality of Temagami sprang into action and acquired the trademark. In October 2025, the trademark moved from the municipality to the Canadian Shield Beverage Corporation.
The team bringing back the legacy — Sully Sullivan, Mike Perreault, Jeff Hodge, and Jean Beauchemin — is working with the municipality, according to the website.
Though there’s no timeline given for the return, the product line on the site includes Original Ginger Ale, Cream Soda, and Zero Sugar Ginger Ale.
The site says the beverages will be available at local retailers soon, and that there will also be Northern-inspired nostalgic merchandise.
