Ginger beer
 

since Bermuda, I am addicted to this stuff. Its soda, but the most delicious stuff in the world.
Been mixing it with some dark rum for a Dark and Stormy. I usually hate non diet soda, but now my teeth are all going to fall out!
anyone have this stuff?

Love a dark and stormy!
mmm... mmm.. good

YESS!!! dark and stormy has been my "official" drink for a few years now. I started out using Barritts, but lately been experimenting with different ginger beers. BTW The stuff you get at spanish bodegas is pretty good too. I can't think of the name right now, but I'll get one tomorrow and post it here.

Regatta is the closest you will get to Barritts in the US now, other than my 4 personal cases.

Before you ask, no, none of them are for sale.

dark & stormy is my favorite mixed drink. by far!

You can get Barritts here in the states. I get it at soda distributors and package stores

Not for long!

Do me a favor, type out the canner/distributor on the can?

anyone know of a place that sells the diet ginger beer? I had in in Bermuda. BTW, having a dark and stormy as I type

Thats just not right man.
Thats like... wearing your wife's panties, and not on your head. :eek5:

But why? I don't have a can that isn't directly from Bermuda available at the moment. Down to my last 4 cans of that.

Next thing you'll try to tell us that Gosling's Black Seal isn't available anymore :crying:

Goya?

I know, I have to keep my girlish figure though

I love a good stormin darkie with lot of lime.... :drool:

I'll be hauling it back and forth on a monthly basis if it becomes unavailable.

Barritts changed hands not too long ago and they were pulling US distribution. (Where's Karl when you forget the rest of the details?)

COMMUNIST!
OUT HEATHEN!
OUT!

ive got Goya and another that says Jamacian Ginger Beer.

Zima and wine coolers are sooooooo refweshwing. :lm:

Make the bad sissy stop! :crying:

ah HA!

Barritt's Bermuda Stone Ginger Beer is available in the United States in 12oz cans via the Goslings Rum Distributors.

The world has been saved from an atrocity.
Now its time to finish off the penguins.

thanks Nebe, Barrits diet was what I was drinking on the island. I'll have to order some, and get a few pink thongs while Im at it. is there a store" beverages and more" around or was that when I was living in CA? Cant remember

HELLS NO GOYA!!!!!!! it's jamaican and comes in a dark brown glass bottle about 12 0r 16oz, the name eludes me tho....Goya that's funny

Same company different distributors?
I'll look at the catalogue while im getting my kale soup tomorrow.

fentiman's is pretty good.. i think that comes in a brown bottle-

Goya is nasty and will burn holes in your mouth. I just figured where you said it was available in bodegas...

Drinking Goya is like drinking Bud Light.
Some things you just don't do.

Bermuda
 

About 10+ years ago I used to fly to Bermuda. I did that for 1 1/2 years and spent many days there. Had lots of Dark and Stormy nights there too... :bl:

I think it was a custom or at least it felt like it to give us bottles of Goslings Black Seal when we were there,,, I also used to crave this little place on the water that served Wahoo fish sandwiches too,,, I miss that place,,,

Milligans Island
http://milligans-island.com/

used to serve them on the boat.
And screw likwid. I like a lime wedge in mine...

I cant remeber the brand, i think its made my hosners soda from CT. Its a good ginger beer even though i have nothing to compare it too. Its got a good bite to it. They say its jamican style, seriously hot mon. I get it at yankee spirits, usually get a case of it. Picked up a bottle of the 151 goslings, thats a damn hot drink, lotts of lime for sure.

I bet you drink Corona.

:hidin:

:hihi:

WANT

I prefer pacifico or sol

:rotf3:

You need to try real ginger beer. I have brewed many batches. The beer is usually about 5 to 6 $ alchohol and the ginger flavor should be very strong. It should almost be too strong on the first few sips but then you get by the initail WOW GINGER reaction and it tastes better. it needs to be this strong to get the added medicinal benefits of the ginger. In a strong ginger beer , the ginger medicinal affect will be a nice cooling sensation. Its almost like a cool breeze hitting you. Add to this medicinal affect the normal affect fo 5 to 6 % alchohol and its a very pleasant experience. I use about 1 OZ of dried ginger root but of course freshly ground would be better. You will need to make a few batches to tweak your recipe but once you get it right , you'll want to be sure to have some around along with other favorite varieties.

OH BTW , I like to add the ginger to a dark beer. Not a porter or stout but just a normal dark.

You' re right Saltheart, I do need to try reall ginger beer! next time you brew a batch, please call me and i will come over to sample! :love:
