Vernor’s is truly hard to beat. I can still remember being introduced to my first yellow enameled glass bottle of it when I was seven years old. Loved it then, love it now. I attribute their superiority to a strong vanilla note in the mix. Does anyone else notice this?
Just quaffed the first of a sixer along with my home made turkey pot pie last night. Gonna have another when I get home tonight. If beer didn’t exist (sacrilige, I know) Vernor’s would be in it’s place at the top of the beverage ladder. Too bad it doesn’t come in glass out here on the left coast.
Pee-shaw. If you want some real ginger ale, I suggest you hie thee to South Carolina and get some Blenhiem’s (prounounced Blen-um’s) Hot Ginger Ale.
Speaking as a man who eats 5-star Thai, Macho Mexican Salsa, Nuclear Buffalo Wings, and raw horseradish–and has burned off many a tastebud–I tell you that it will make your eyes water. It is Ginger Ale as it was meant to be, not the Canada Dry Girly stuff, but tongue-burning, throat-scalding Ginger Ale. And Penn Jillette loves it.
Look it up on Google to order–it’s available through several e-tailers.
