Like Not Your Father’s Root Beer before it, this creation of Small Town Brewery is an alcohol-infused rendition of ginger beer. This is now a surprisingly large category, and standing out is becoming difficult. Not Your Father’s Ginger Ale isn’t really able to do that — a flavored beer product that manages to work some spicy ginger notes into the mix, but ends up promoting flavors more akin to sour apple, with ample malt sneaking up behind it.

The root beer is better.
