David discovered the burn of Br Bronners, and I’ve finally found a hookup on Blenheim’s Ginger Ale in San Diego. Turns out, it was right under my nose. Grant’s Marketplace in Southpark has a great selection of beer, wine, soda, and produce/drygoods. We popped in to pick up some baguettes to make some blt’s with our killer tomatoes.
That’s where I spied my chemical abuser – Blenheims Ginger Ale with a red top. The red top means it is ‘regular’, which means burn your face off spicy. If you don’t drink it carefully, it will hulk-smash your sinuses and leave you wheezing. If that doesn’t sound like fun they also carry the Blenheim’s Not As Hot, with the gold cap. Still spicy, but not molten. Highly recommended.
I’m a serious gingier aficionado … I’ll have to try it out.
Blenheims has a decent flavor, but I think best ginger stuff out there is probably Bundaberg Ginger Beer. It is smooth with a slight bite, really nice. I’ve seen it at costplus and bevmo in 4 packs for a bit over 5 bucks.
Reeds is also pretty good, but sometimes I don’t like the honey/fruit sugar they use to sweeten.
Yeah, I can’t say I’m the biggest fan of Reeds. My sister found this cool ginger and lemon drink at Whole Foods.
