Does Bubbly Creek still exist?

I was watching this old (2001) Geoffrey Baer video about the L. At the Orange Line Ashland stop, he showed where a tributary of the Chicago River was still bubbling, because it's the last remaining part of Bubbly Creek, where the river used to be an open sewer filled with wastewater from the stockyards.

I was curious if you can still see bubbles there, all these years later?

Where have you seen Bubbly Creek Soda from Bridgeport Coffee for sale?

Aside from the 3 Bridgeport Coffee locations themselves, I've only seen it sold in Logan Square's Dill Pickle.

Anyone see the soda sold elsewhere?
