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?

RIROCKHOUND 06-18-2008 07:47 PM

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

BxBomber 06-18-2008 07:49 PM

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.

zacs 06-18-2008 08:05 PM

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

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:

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?)

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.

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,,,

RIROCKHOUND 06-20-2008 02:52 PM

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

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

Rob Rockcrawler 06-22-2008 08:21 PM

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.
