  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

That's going to be a tough one to find.

My suggestion is go to an area that is primarily jamaican or caribbean and you should be able to find it in a grocery/bodega there...

The local brewery makes some. They make a good rootbeer also. If you ever get a hankering for it let me know. I tried the ginger and it was almost spicy and bit the back of my throat. I wasn't a fan.

bartender at local restaurant uses ginger beer as a replacement for club soda in Mojitos. He makes the best Mojitos I have ever guzzled

I might be able to take this stuff mixed because I like the ginger flavor it's the bite in the back of my throat drinking it unadulterated I don't like.

Meg think of ginger ale but really amped up ginger flavor. It's non-alcoholic so you can even drink it if you came to the US.:stretchgr

Nothing like real good spicy jamaican ginger beer in a tall glass, 3/4 full of ice and a hefty shot of good clean tasty rum...

I just picked up a 4 pack of Reeds ginger beer. I will let you know what I think of it. Compared to the local brewery ginger beer it's looking a tad weaker. It's clear the other stuff was real cloudy. I don't know what is normal now after buying only two different kinds.

Okay the reeds ginger beer is WAY better than the Appalachian Brewing company ginger beer. If you really really like the ginger beer taste then ABC is the brew for you. I like this tamer stuff though.
