Is ginger beer what we call ginger ale, or is it something alcoholic?

You can* I think get an alcoholic version, but this is just a soft fizzy kinda drink, with no* alcohol in it... so probably yes, its the same <zen. The D&B jamican ginger beer is really* gingery flavoured which I like smiley - drool
though I hardly ever have fizzy drinks asides this very* occasionally, so I can't drink a whole bottle very quickly, and I often find it too fizzy when I first open it... but a few days in teh fridge the fizzyness drops a bit smiley - magic
Oh, and its like a small bottle I'd guess about 330 mililitres or thereabouts with a screw top so I can have half then reseal it smiley - zen

Have you tried this kind 2legs? You won't want to try any other.

A real spicy, gingery kick to it. After I tried it the rest just seem like sugary fizz water. The other ones they make are pretty good, too.

About the only good brand we have here is Canada Dry. I like it and generally have a bottle of it in the house. It's great to help settle an upset stomach.

Ginger ale like Canada Dry's slightly different from ginger beer. The latter is cloudy, and tastes a lot more strongly of ginger, with more burn to it.

Never tried it, Robyn! It's not all sweet and alco-popy, is it?

We sell their root beer on draft (made in Austin), and most of their other sodas in bottles (made in Maine).

I was going to suggest going to Trader Joe's--they carry a couple of very yummy gingery ginger ale and beer, but I used the store locator and saw that you're even farther from TJ's than we are--and they don't do online orderingsmiley - wah

That's pretty pricey since you'd have to add shipping charges. Is it that much better than Canada Dry to be worth the difference?

It's got a beery background though it can be a little sweet. I've only tried Crabbies though, there's a couple of people making it now. If you ever find yourself in a wether(spoon of doom) they do a couple of varieties...

Yes, it is pricey, but then so is almost any drink made by a small, independent, two-brother company compared to a drink made by a multi-national corporation. And yes, it's a whole lot better.
