Like Ginger Beer? Try this!

At my local beerfest two months ago one of the local shops was pouring Crabbies Ginger Beer.

It is crisp, light and really good - assuming you like ginger.

If you've ever had Reed's or Bundaberg, you'll like this stuff. The difference is, this stuff is alcoholic :jumpy:

It's a nice change of pace from the regular beer collection.

I agree that the bottles are kind of cool. I've found that it takes a 2 or 3 day soak in Starsan at 2X strength to get all the glue off. And even then it requires some scrubbing.
