If you can find "White Rock" it's a brand that all the top resturants use.. only sold through distributors.. I've not seen these the in te supermarkets for @ least 15 years... There cola is also very good with a bite.. like all there beverages..

I love Canada Dry.


I also love Reed's Ginger Brew, the original style.

I'll second, third and fourth Blenheim's out of SC. They are right on the SC/NC border, behind all the junk of South-of-the-border. But they don't offer visits.

Bundaberg Ginger beer from Australia. awesome. Luckily my local BevMo often stocks it.

My vote goes to: Stoney Tangawizi which is bottled only in Africa (by coke).

Very strong ginger taste and also very sweet. This was my (soft) drink of choice when I was living in Uganda.

^ for Polar tonics from Woostah! Oh, I mean Worcester :D (NB: in Massachusetts a "tonic" is anything carbonated, not just tonic/quinine water.) As a locavore-wannabe I do like the Polar ginger ale, made so close to BOS.

I love Canada Dry ginger ale, and remember if you get at all car sick or air sick this can help settle your mildly upset stomach.

Definitely second the Bundaberg ginger beer (last bought at BevMo in Bay area), and recommend Barrett's -- discovered in Bermuda, mixed with Gosling's dark rum and fresh lime juice for a Dark 'n' Stormy! :D

Edited to add: Fentiman's, too, though my wife will gladly kill to find Jamaica Old Tyme.

we already looked at WR as a generic brand, that is mostly watered down

OK maybe the best of the generics, but far from being anything of quality IMO

Diet Vernors - if drinking it straight (non-diet too sweet for me)

Polar golden - haven't had it in many years, but remember it fondly

Canada Dry - if mixing with Canadian whisky

Blenheim & ginger beers - too dang hot!

Bundaberg here. Available in regular and diet at World Market (Cost Plus) stores.

Oh, man. Dont do that to me :( ;)


Vernors and Schweppes are my favorites. And according to Wikipedia, yea I know, they are two different styles of ginger ale.
