My first DS was say five or six years ago and up untill last year I couldn’t find the Black Seal, found it then no ginger beer, found some Bundaberg and liked the mix… then had a DS in Nawlins made with the Goslings brand, it was ok but just didn’t have the zip the Bundaberg did….just ordered a case of Barritts so will see how that pans out…a lotta work for a mixed drink but what a drink :)

Looking forward to trying this out! Haven’t seen it here in New York in any of the stores that typically distribute Polar, though.

I noticed Goslings Ginger Beer in the case at a local lunch place. I almost tried it but in spite of the can saying “All Natural Ingredients” the second ingredient was high fructose corn syrup. Having no desire to gain weight or increase my cancer risk I didn’t buy any.

Goslings makes a good transitional ginger beer for those wanting to move up from ginger ale–it has a fairly dry ginger-forward flavor encased in enough high fructose corn syrup that it dulls in perception after the first few swigs. It would be a nice beverage for the flavor-shy folks who like to seem adventurous none the less. For my money, the gold standard of ginger beers is still Fentimans, followed at a distant second by Bundaberg.

try Regatta – most people like it better than the Barritts we used to make.

We have been to Bermuda 7 times and love making and drinking Dark & Stormy’s. We usually use Barritts (which we stock up on every time we go). I recently found Goslings rendition of ginger beer in the USA. I personally don’t like it as much as the Barritts; the ginger is too overpowering. The Barritts is more subtle.

Are where exactly can I get this in Ireland?

My favourite drink with my name on it – it must be fate!

I found the Goslings GB last night. It has a ‘dusty’ taste that I do not like but am fond of it’s spice kick. Maybe it needs to be blended with some Barritts? Either way, I’m looking forward to some taste testing.

About a year and half ago I spoke to Bruce Barritt on the phone. He answered it when I called looking for Barritts. He told me they had left the guy they had been using (he now makes Regatta) and went with a maker outta Jacksonville, FL. That may have prompted Goslings to go looking.

I have not tried the new Stormy Ginger Beer, but it sounds like the Original Metro Stone Ginger Beer. Metro and Barritts were competing Ginger Beers. Metro had more Bite (Ginger taste) to it and Barritts was milder and sweeter. Metro’s Ginger Beer was the best for D&S, but was not widely available outside of Bermuda. Barritts bought out Metro, and added the “stone ground” to its label. Hopefully the Stormy Ginger Beer will be as widely available as Black Seal Rum is available now.
