There are two types of people: those who prefer ginger ale and those who prefer ginger brew.
I grew up with a summertime social circle at my lake cabin. One of the activity ringleaders, Dave, is constantly trying to rally enough people together for a tennis tournament or volleyball game. A few summers he caught on that a better way to get everyone together is to have a “taste-off” of a certain type of food.
Ginger ales/brews were the subject of one such “taste-off,” and my outstanding favorite was Reed’s Extra Ginger Brew which boasts “25g of fresh ginger” per bottle. Usually I am severely unimpressed by product health/ingredient claims, but this in fact catches my attention. Anyone who measures in grams and cooks fresh ginger can attest to 25g being a considerable amount.
Perusing the Reed’s website now I am intrigued by the Cherry Ginger Brew and Spiced Apple Brew. I will have to look out for them.
This stuff is my absolute favorite beverage of all time!
Yummmm. My absolute favorite beverage would probably fall into the “Happy Hour” category, but I agree that Reed’s Extra Ginger Brew is wicked good.
