Join me my brothers and sisters; let us create ginger ale from scratch!

This is the kind I'm talking about.

Bundaberg Ginger Beer is the shit. You can find it literally everywhere in Australia (and probably NZ too). Nice to know it's gone global.

Blackberry Ginger Ale goes hard.

Mix ginger ale/beer with gin and a splash of lime.

I prefer ginger wine, don't like carbonated ginger drinks they make me grimace.

It's time to end the war and realize what we can do if we all come together. This shit is actually really good and you should try it if you get the chance.

I always thought of ginger ale as more of a mixer rather than something you are supposed to drink on its own.

A trend at bars in Europe decades ago was to serve a beer "with a twist," which is a pint of beer with a splash or two on top of Sprite or whatever lemon soda they had.

I recently tried this with ginger ale on top of a really strong, hoppy beer. I thought it was good! Perfect flavor.

Ginger ale is disgusting.

Ginger ale and root beer are the only sodas I tolerate.

All other sodas are fucking garbage.

I'd like to thank both @Preacher ✝ and OP @RollerGator for two reasons:


1) While I was unable to locate Bacardi Oakheart, I got myself a bundaberg and my bottle of rum and this was indeed a very nice mix that I never considered before


2) OP's thread, Preacher's suggestion and me consequently craving Ginger Beer moreso than usual, prompted me to start a ginger bug from scratch (which has been developing for the past week), make an extra strong base brew with both fresh and dried ginger and I have now reached the stage where I can "bottle" the first batch for final fermentation/carbonation.

It's very easy and if you enjoy Ginger Beer, you should definitely give it a try. Cheers!

You are very welcome, happy to have helped.

That Diplomatico is pretty good dark rum, back when I still drank one of the only rums I found that beat it was Pampero Anniversario.



If you can find it I recommend giving it a shot.

I also reckon that ginger beer would go well with Irish Whisky, of which my favorite was Powers Gold Label.

Vernors is fucking disgusting, seagrams gang for lyfe

 

[barrow greeter]

Blackberry Ginger Ale goes hard.

I second this. Though I wonder how good Blackberry Crown and Blackberry Ginger Ale would be

Repent for these blasphemies at once.


This and Goya Ginger Beer are the fanciest ginger beverages I've ever had. What do you ginger appreciators think of them?

 

[twentyZeroOne]

Vernors is good shit but I can only find it in Ohio

Polar is good if you're in the MA/New England area.
