Is hard Mtn Dew in Ohio?

According to a press release from Mountain Dew, Ohio was the most-requested state to begin carrying its new line of spiked sodas—called HARD MTN DEW—since the brand launched in February.

Because of that, we got what we asked for: As of yesterday, HARD MTN DEW is now available in the Buckeye State.

The new offering clocks it at 5% ABV, about the same as a  light beer. It contains zero added sugar and is 100 calories total.
