Ginger Beer

[Bahco]

I've just had a can of the most vilest drink ever. Ginger beer must be an acquired taste as it is so bitter and makes me feel like heaving.

Can anyone on here honestly say they like it?

Scuse me while I go and throw up.

Hers was apparently very good,

Used to love it as a kid.
Thought about trying that Crabbies one advertised on telly.
Anyone had one and if so what is it like?

 

[Mw Roofline]

Maybe only Ginger people like it?

Yes I had some at Christmas, must say not my drink, but a couple of bottles went down great, nice refreshing change.

The Crabbies Alcoholic Ginger Beer seems to be the new 'in-vogue' drink at the moment. It's like the new Magners!!

So, is it worth a try or should I stick with my memories?

Nah, I've tried it and I think the Crabbies is over rated too.

Oh ............ the thread is actually about ginger beer ........ I thought it was rhyming slang and Bahco was trying to tell us something

 

[Donkmeister]

I love it!!!

I used to get a can of "Old Jamaica" as a treat when I was a kid, and I still love it whenever I have it as a grown-up.

I'd accuse you of having no taste, but having seen many people going "Ooooh, liquorice, what a treat!", "I'll have a Campari and soda" and "I love marmite!" then I gracefully accept that ginger beer may be as revolting to most as anything in a black-death-coloured jar, coloured by crushed beetles or advertised by Bertie Basset.

Nope, I think he keeping the closet door firmly shut on that one.

If this was a poll I'd be voting for it, think it's lovely stuff. I've also tried something along the lines of what Chud mentioned and I liked that too.
My mother used to brew ginger beer when I was younger using a "ginger beer plant" which was fed ginger and sugar and devided at the end of the process to form two plants. It's only yeast but at the time I thought it was fantastic. However, sitting watching tv one night there came a series of bangs from the hall as the fresh bottles of beer exploded one after another and that put an end to mothers beer making and my drinking of it
