I found real old style Ginger Beer

I’m the opposite. I like a ginger beer to “love me long time.” Fever Tree is really good, but I want it in bigger bottles. Starting with 1 liter, ideally. :smiley:

Was it their Triple Ginger Brew? I just bought and consumed a bottle from one of their Southern California stores last week. It is a pretty strong ginger beer.

I can report the Bundaberg Ginger Slush is awesome. I let it freeze for about 45 minutes, I am really enjoying it currently.

I don’t know ginger beer in general, but Bundeberg is certainly good. You can get it at Costco, too.

Bundaberg, rum and lime juice is a pretty tasty highball. Not quite a Dark and Stormy, but really close.

Ginger related - Gingeroo, made by the Old New Orleans Rum Distillery, is pretty tasty stuff. I’ve not seen anything else like it. Its sweet but it sure beats Canada Dry.

For the extreme ginger aficionado, Powell and Mahoney used to make their Powell & Mahoney Old Ballycastle Ginger Vintage, a super strong non-alcoholic ginger syrup for mixing with, well, whatever you wanted. I still have a full bottle from a buying binge I went on years ago.

Sadly it seems the product is no longer available. But here’s a nice picture.

I don’t know how Powell and Mahoney’s ginger beer product ranks amongst the others I’ve tried; I’ve never seen it in stores.

It was! They still make it; they just won’t sell it to me? Jerks.

Next time you are at TJs take a look around. For some reason they treat it as a seasonal beverage and only sell it during the last quarter of the year.

I like Bundaberg well enough, but if you should try Stoney if you can get it.

What no Crabbies? If you’re gonna have ginger beer, might as well have it fermented.

I’ve been impressed by the Crabbie’s flavors I’ve tried. But around here it’s rather pricey.

That would be Bundaberg Rum of course.

I had the same question. Thanks for asking it. On a note related to the OP, but non-alcohol related, the grocery store down the road from my apartment in Beijing now stocks Hey Song sarsaparilla from Taiwan. I like it, but I sure do miss the birch beer I got introduced to in my short stint in Pennsylvania.

My husband’s homemade. Just ginger, lemon, sugar, and a good long sit in the shed

:cool:

ETA: Oh, I see this board is being ginger-beered by the ginger-beer-inator…

Your husband must be weird, as I can’t conceive of a way to pronounce it besides the way you say.

My Costco has Fever Tree. I’ve had those two, Cock & Bull, plus a few others that escape me. I don’t notice any big differences, no grapefruit taste and all are good.

The best I’ve had was home-brewed by a couple that was older than dirt 25 years ago. I haven’t seen them since the 90s and only had their ginger beer twice, but it was absolutely excellent.

You had to zombie three separate threads to seek our responses? :dubious:
My favorite ginger beers of the ones still being produced are Blenheim’s (especially the “hot” pink-capped bottles), Buffalo Rock, Jamaica, and Gosling’s.

I have not tried Fever Tree, or not that I recall. I’ll keep an eye out for it.

Most ginger ale isn’t strong enough to be a decent substitute for ginger beer. There are exceptions: the above-mentioned Buffalo Rock actually bills itself as ginger ale but it’s as gingery and strong as any of the others in that list (well maybe not as strong as the Blenheim pink-cap).

What do you have against zombie threads?
From the username clearly he finds ginger beer very important.

I like Blenheim’s xtra hot. I have a dozen bottles chilled right now. But is it anything more than their regular ginger ale with extra capsaicin added?
