I tried the Bold a couple months ago, hoping it'd be similar to Vernor's and was deeply disappointed.

Vernor's is the best gingerale and it's not even close.

I can understand if it does it for you, but it has such a different taste that it almost feels wrong to me that they printed "ginger ale" on the can.

Actually, they don't. Vernor's has always been labeled as Ginger Soda.

As someone who never cared for Vernors but enjoys ginger ale, fair enough then and that makes sense!

Fever tree ginger beer is king. One year Bundaberg did a holiday seasonal blend with baking spice flavors added and it was wonderful. Picked up a bunch on discount after Christmas.

Without doubt the very best ginger product is Goslings ginger beer, component of the Dark ‘N Stormy cocktail. Honourable mention to Grace ginger beer from Jamaica.

I converted my son to ginger ale/beer with a can of Goslings. It is strongly and pungently gingery without going overboard. A real great flavor cocktail or not.

(I also love Dark 'N Stormies)

The only off putting things about Goslings are that it’s pretty hard to get hold of, and it’s the same price as actual beer (in the UK anyway).

For all my ginger soda drinkers, I submit Ale-8-One.



If you're ever passing through Kentucky, get this poo poo. I've also seen it in the regional/independent/unique soda section at Cracker Barrel, but I don't know if every store has it.

Also, I will loving fight you if you drink it out of anything but the green glass bottle. Ale-8-One from a plastic bottle, can or fountain is not Ale-8-One. Ale-8-One is served in a god damned green glass bottle.

Is it pronounced "ale, eight, one," or "a late one?" The bottles do say "A Late One," but I've never heard anyone call it "A Late One." It is loving ALE EIGHT ONE, but if you're ordering it at a restaurant, just say "I'll have an Ale-8."

have to look for that one next time i go to the candy/soda speciality shop. and yeah, glass bottles will always be superior. my grandfather was the manager for a string of bars so he had a hook up for these glass bottle sodas to bring home and i'd always have glass bottle cokes and dr. peppers when i went over there.

Dr pepper is best from a can. The slight metallic note cuts the sweetness in a beneficial manner.

I really want to clean out a Windex bottle and put some inside with a new/fresh sprayer nozzle thing, then spritz it into my mouth at work and offer "shots" to my coworkers.

There is a blue Fanta that is close in color but I haven't seen it around in a while.

rockstar's got some goodass flavors but it's for the best they have a tendency to discontinue the ones i like the most because i cannot handle energy drinks without spiralling into anxiety

I'm a big Sprecher person. Puma Kola is one of my favorite colas and just about everything they make is good. I already have a box on the way that I ordered for the summer earlier this week.

They pop into stores here and there for a bit locally but they never stick which is too bad. The only part about not living in the hellscape that is the midwest that I regret is that I will never have a chance to try any of the seasonal flavors since they always sell out locally before they go online.

I recommend the no rootbeer variety pack on their website. I like the rootbeer but the variety pack with rootbeer is half rootbeer.
