any ginger ale connoisseurs out there?

indulf · 04-07-2006, 02:17 PM

man i love ginger ale.

who has a good local brand i can find and try?

my dad always had a case or 2 of this in the garage fridge. he grew up drinkin it with his dad. i always have some at home these days

if you like spicy ginger ale then try it. it has cayenne pepper

so what else is out there?

edit: i like vernor's too, even though it seems like a cheapo brand around here...

When I was in Detroit the locals insisted I try some Vernors. It was definitely different than Schweppes!!

Schly · 04-07-2006, 02:22 PM

I like Vernors.

Here in VA, I periodically find a brand called "Northern Neck".

Try Ginger Ale and Lime Juice.

Only time I drink ginger ale is in a moscow mule. Gotta have the copper mug to do it right though.

My wife loves shirley temples with ginger ale instead of sprite/7-up or however its made.

Bruce T · 04-07-2006, 04:01 PM

Try Vernors and (or any ginger ale) and captain morgans. Good stuff. Is Vernors regional? I live in michigan and its always been around.

APRILRAZZ · 04-07-2006, 04:10 PM

King's Arms Tavern Ginger Ale from Colonial Williamsburg rocks! The also have an awesome ginger beer as well

lttlbddy · 04-07-2006, 04:10 PM

Vernor's is old as dirt and should be just about everywhere. It's a good ginger ale also.

Screwzer2 · 04-07-2006, 04:14 PM

Vernors and Canada Dry are good. So is Shweepes. But this is the bomb:

"The Ginger People are proud to announce that its ginger beer was selected as the Outstanding Beverage for the year 2000 by the NASFT. Our non-alcoholic ginger beer is made with real ginger juice and is ALL natural, too. Ginger beer comes as a 4-pack."

Damn snappy ginger ale.

Yes, it's hard to find west of the Rockies.

EHeye · 04-07-2006, 05:54 PM

Schweppes Raspberry Gingerale.

DBAX · 04-07-2006, 06:52 PM

Longtime fan of Vernors

. For a while, maybe up until 2000, it was hard to find here in PHX.
This stuff's great, full of ginger, and quite snappy. I don't know where you'd find it though. I get mine at a local specialty food store/resturant (Duck and Decanter).

Looks like I've had my last CockNBull..

roundhouse · 04-07-2006, 07:48 PM

I cant drink cafffine, with the meds Im taking, so ginger ale or sprite is about it.
caffine free coke is sooo gross.

When I was in the UK, I had some Britvic, thats the best ever.
