Ginger beer appreciation thread

Abhorred · 05-10-2008, 07:43 PM

Oh, here we go, the Aussies found the thread. I'm seriously thinking of ordering a pack of Bundaberg, but the shipping costs on the glass bottles are brutal.

I've heard lots of good about Blenheim's Ginger Ale, and it comes in a "Hot" blend that apparently emphasizes the ginger taste...

That'll definitely be a gift for my father in law.

I would also enjoy some.

EDIT: My girlfriend just pointed out that Blenheim's doesn't have any actual ginger in it except for what they hide under the banner of "natural flavors." My enthusiasm is muted. Still want to try it, though.

I like it. It's like root beer that burns

hehe, I saw the thread title, and automatically thought- 'These people need Bundaberg'...

Good thing you've already discovered it though, you must get some more immediately.

i am seriously flirting with the idea of buting a small fridge, and stocking it with coke and bundaberg ginger beer, just for when the cravings hit...

worth it man, especially in the summer once the cricket season starts up again...

He's introduced me to a number of types I had never tried before we met, for which I'm eternally grateful.

Personally, I'm rather fond of Old Tyme Jamaican Style, which is good as it's somewhat easily available in the area. Unfortunately, not many other kinds are, which makes the flavour quest a definite challenge.

A.J. Stephans, that of Category 5 fame, is another good one, but hard to find 'round these parts.

I'm incredibly jealous of you Aussies, though, since you have easy access to Bundaberg, one of the few that is still brewed. It's available in North America, but in very few places.

So, anybody else appreciate a good ginger beer now and then?

My name is Drew, and I approve of this thread.

Colin and I have actally attempted making ginger beer in the past.It turned out ok - the recipe we had ended up with a ligntly carbonaded, mildly alchololic ginger-flavored lemonade, actually, which wasn't half bad - very refreshing - but needed to be filtered and wasn't ginger-y enough for a Dark and Stormy. Still, I haven't given up.
