Potent ginger flavor with some real heat. There's a spice in there too. It's the real deal too. Fermented not just soda...I know for sure you can get it at The Fertile Underground and The Avery... Also it's origin's are in Nosara , Costa Rica, so if you're ever there you can find it all over.....

I prefer it with ginger syrup made from ginger juice rather than the cooked variety. Much more kick that way.Jordanhttp://cocktailchem.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-702301274055411203.post-45619302477857092482011-02-21T13:51:50.480-06:002011-02-21T13:51:50.480-06:00My preference is for the fentiman's - it's...My preference is for the fentiman's - it's got a lot of ginger kick. I've only ever found it at central market, though. Robin, I'm intrigued by this homemade ginger beer idea. You had me at "very drinkable and slightly alcoholic".Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13683958109745942409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-702301274055411203.post-25080411748427526922011-02-21T13:47:22.259-06:002011-02-21T13:47:22.259-06:00Cock and Bull is the best I've found at Spec&#...Cock and Bull is the best I've found at Spec's for mixing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-702301274055411203.post-77810246395108700582011-02-21T05:56:30.375-06:002011-02-21T05:56:30.375-06:00'Real' ginger beer IS alcoholic, although ...'Real' ginger beer IS alcoholic, although you're right in saying that it's much rarer now. There's a new-ish brand called Crabbies over here in Britain that does a version that's as alcoholic as real ale, but I guess that's not available in the States.<br /><br />It's also not too hard to make your own - all you need is ginger root, sugar, yeast, lemons, a demi-john and a little time, and you get something which is very drinkable and slightly alcoholic.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14796669185411072234noreply@blogger.com
