Ginger Beer from M&S

12-22-2011, 09:49 PM

Yesterday, I bought a bottle of Ginger Beer from M&S. I haven't it yet. Has anyone tried it? Is it any good?

Let us know. I'm not a big ginger fan so I think it sounds kind of foul!

I do love Jamaican ginger beer with curried goat.

I have had the Goya ginger beer, very spicy and crisp

I LOVE ginger! send it to me, I'll let you know how it is!

I love ginger brew, but have trouble finding any that are crisp and spicy. I hate paying $1.50 per bottle, only to taste it, and be overwhelmed by the sugar content! That's my number one complaint on most I've discarded, just way too sweet! I'm not saying they don't need some sweet, but not the level that I find 90% of them to be!

I'm definitely open for suggestions also about ginger brew that is crisp, spicy, and not overblown with sugar.

Reed's Extra Ginger Beer is the best of the ones that are easy to find - as of last time I attempted to find a good one years ago.
Seems like 20 years ago they were all spicier than they are recently...

Blenheim is my #1 favorite, but very hard to find outside the Carolinas.

I was debating making a keg of Ginger beer for this coming spring. I enjoy Sprechers Ginger ale, which is fairly spicy, with a cigar.

Maine Root makes a ginger beer that I'll drink now and again. Love it with spicy food, or mixed with a bunch of rum.

I love some Dark & Stormy's = Ginger beer & Goslings Dark Rum

RGD. · 12-23-2011, 11:18 AM

I normally keep a six pack or two of Goslings Ginger Beer here to make Dark and Stormy's with.

Never actually tasted it by itself.

Yeah, I'll let you know.. I'm thinking twice of opening it. Lol!

I love Ginger beer. I usually get bundaburg Ginger beer from bevmo. I'm always looking for a new one to try though.
