'''Buffalo Rock Company''' is an independent [[Pepsi]] bottler based in [[Birmingham, Alabama]]. It was founded in 1901. In addition to bottling Pepsi products, the company produced [[Grapico]] in 1916, a grape-flavored soft drink, and a [[ginger ale]] under its own brand name.

Buffalo Rock ginger ale is considerably darker in color and has a stronger ginger content than is customary.  Some customers use the term "ginger cola" to describe the taste.  Buffalo Rock and Grapico are sold throughout [[Alabama]], parts of [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]] and the [[Florida panhandle|panhandle of Florida]].

In 2005, Buffalo Rock introduced a soft drink called Dr. Wham. Dr. Wham is sold in Buffalo Rock markets where the company does not have the territorial rights to sell [[Dr Pepper]], including markets such as [[Huntsville, Alabama]], [[Montgomery, Alabama]], [[Columbus, Georgia]], [[Pensacola, Florida]], and [[Staunton, Virginia]]. A complete listing of markets that carry Dr. Wham is on the Buffalo Rock website.
