Yes.

I posted it some months ago and got blasted for posting something "old".

This topic is now about different brands of ginger ale!

I like Schwepps!

Vernors, you can taste the Michigan (speaking as someone from Michigan, that's not strictly a good thing)

Canada Dry is superior!

It's made with real ginger!

Yes, it tastes like unemployment and motor oil.

Just kidding, Vernors is my favorite. Though I do have fond memories of Canada Dry when I was sick as a youngster....

(Canada Dry also tastes better flat, Vernors is hard to drink without carbonation).

Canada Dry is the only ginger ale I remember. I've had others, but they pale in comparison.

Normally, I do not like ginger ale. In fact, I despise the stuff most of the time (not that I've actually tried it in years....).


Canada Dry + Captain Morgan = My new favourite drink.

Ginger beer is awesome, especially Jamaican ginger beer. Much stronger flavor than ginger ale.

I had never had ginger ale until I was 17, second year of college, I bought a can to make glazed carrots. Tried a few sips. HOLY SHIT that stuff is delicious!

Why did nobody tell me about ginger ale?!

Also it makes very good glazed carrots. Half a can, some sliced carrots, and some chopped parsley, and you've got a tasteful, delicious side dish.

Yep, Canada Dry. As for Captain Morgan and Canada Dry, I shall give it a go. Reminds me of the time I mixed gin and ginger ale to create GINger ale. Tasted pretty okay.

Crabbies Alcoholic Ginger Beer. Don't know if you can get it internationally, but it's so awesome. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy, but really makes me want vanilla ice cream...

I seem to remember what I believe was an Air Farce gag about the invention of the Rye & Ginger with 4 bored Canadians trying to invent a drink. After making several hideous concoctions they settle of the Rye & Ginger because, while terrible, is not as bad as the others.

Stone's ginger wine mixed with Old Jamaica ginger beer FTW. You can add just a splash of the ginger beer as a mixer (which is perfect for cold winter evenings), or fill a tumbler and make a long drink out of it (which is perfect for hot summer afternoons); great stuff.

I'm not a fan. :( Allways too hot/dry for me. I've never been able to finish a can/cup/bottle.

Were they trying to figure out how to drink the rye? Vile stuff, rye is.

Rye isn't vile. I loves me my Rye and Coke.

Canada dry is superior. I go through phase though. One month I'll go through 50+ cans then lay off for the next few months.
