Yes!

Old Jamaican is nice Been loving 'Fentimans' ginger beer lately, got all sorts of other spices in it, very very nice, on offer at Tescos at the moment, I would highly recommend it

Old Jamaica is the best. Absolutely quality stuff.

Tried ginger tea? A one inch square of ginger root sliced into 5-6 pieces steeped in boiling water with a little sugar. Refreshing and good for you

Old Jamaican Ginger Beer.

I used to live off that stuff when i was a nipper

 

[FatRakoon]

Coke? Pepsi mate yea, but Not coke!!!

Cream Soda? - argh, no one likes it and yet it still sells!!!??? - Its about as refreshing as poo and thats not very refreshing now is it?

And we still keep buying the stuff!?!?!?!

I have two of those in the fridge at the moment. They have a real spicy kick and are less sweet. Not quite as tasty as the cheaper Old Jamaican in my book.

 

[wordy]

Love the stuff

Now theres a manly drink.

Ginger beer is great in so many ways. Its sweet, yet not sickly, spicy and warming. My personal favourite is actually a low market brand which you will find in tescos, Old Jamaican Ginger Beer. Its cheap and yum city.

Strange as I always hated it as a kid!

Anyone else been taken by it recently?

Love it but can't by it here (Switzerland).
What I prefer those is home-made ginger beer, this stuff is fairly alcoholic (last batch was around 8.5-10%)

What you can buy here is ginger flavoured beer. A local brewery makes an IPA type beer but with some ginger in it - very refreshing and spicy but hard to drink more than a pint.

Yeah it's lovely, but soooo unhealthy.

Ginger is good for you...

 

[Nitefly]

Ginger is good for you...

Vast sugar isn't

 

[D.P.]

Vast sugar isn't

Put it this way, there is about as much sugar as a equivalent orange juice, less sugar then apple juice etc.

AIF you make your own then the sugar is turned into alcohol, ....

Canadian Club and Schweppes Ginger Ale is great but apart from that I've got no real use for ginger flavoured drinks although the taste of ginger in sweets/food; especially crystalised ginger is great.

 

[heeeed]

Home made ginger beer is the easiest home brew you can possibly make and it's lovely. It's impossible to go wrong with it really, and wont taste nasty like most home brew bitter or lager does

Ginger ale is vile compared to beer, its just not as spicy. Its the 'diet coke' of ginger beer.

Being honest, I could do without it as well but a Canadian mate introduced me to the drink and so that's the way I chose to drink it because it reminds me of the laughs we've had.
