Ginger beer

[KingOrfeo]

I've read that Brits drink something called ginger beer. Is that another name for ginger ale, or is it a different beverage?

I'm not a Brit, but ginger beer and ginger ale aren't the same thing.

Making your own is worth the effort. There is no comparison to store bought. I like the "ginger burn" in the back of my throat and store bought just doesn't have that.

If that's what you're in to, I say go for it.

I like Old Tyme ginger beer. Mr. Gouda's is undrinkable. Mr. Gouda's was the first ginger beer introduced to Canada. Not sure but I would bet it is close to taste of 'real' ginger beer.

You can manufacture ginger beer much like common pop fizzy drinks or you can brew it.

Old Tyme is good stuff though. Has that Vernors tang.

If you want a store bought that burns, get Cock'n'Bull. I see it at lots of grocery stores around here. I bought it once and couldn't finish the bottle because it burned so much.

Those Gin-Gin candies are delicious!

Never heard of homemade soda pop before.

Fever Tree makes a good ginger beer, as well as great old style tonic water.

Fentiman's do a lovely fiery ginger beer. The fieryer the better for me! Good for nausea too.

I save a lot of money with home brewing. 20 cents for a 16 ounce bottle, and no soda tax.

Oh, ginger beer has been on a roll ever since the dudebros all started drinking Moscow Mules a few years back. I think that trend has peaked, which makes sense because real men drink whiskey.

well, we can no narrow down where frodo lives because i'd never heard of a soda tax so i had to fucking google it. not many places actually have that.

Thought it was an American thing. Like root beer. I can buy it at the grocery store on the US import shelves.

It's not soda pop. It's ginger beer. You can actually brew it.

First ginger beer I had was back in England, many years ago. The best ginger beer around here is Bundaberg, imported from down under. The domestic ginger beers all pretty much suck.

One of my uncles used to brew his own Ginger Beer (as well as his own beer and lager). Unlike store-bought varieties his was alcoholic, as are most home made Ginger Beers. It was about 9% so stronger than many lagers.

Yet the children of his family and children of his relations used to drink it. The rule was no more than a tea cup full on any one day.

Fentiman's is the closest to the taste but it doesn't have the alcohol content.
