Food & Wine Ranks Goslings Ginger Beer
Food & Wine recently tested 12 different ginger beer varieties, with Goslings Stormy Ginger Beer ranked at number nine.
The story said, “Ginger beer is the bottle you buy for one cocktail — and then suddenly can’t live without. It’s spicy, bubbly, and just sweet enough to feel like a treat, equally at home on a serious bar cart or in the fridge for easy sipping.

“This punchy beverage was traditionally alcoholic, made by fermenting fresh ginger root with sugar and water to produce a lightly bubbly texture. Modern brands might be fermented or carbonated artificially, but most are nonalcoholic or contain a miniscule amount of alcohol.
“We tested 12 popular ginger beers that are widely available at grocery stores, liquor stores, or easily found online. While some brands offer a spicy or extra-gingery version, we selected the most classic ginger beer offering. The ginger beers came in a range of sizes, including 12-ounce cans, larger glass bottles, and small bottles designed for the bar that contained 6 to 8 ounces — an ideal amount for a cocktail or two.”

I’m afraid that’s three spots two high. I remember what Goslings Ginger Beer first came out. Bars were sending the promotional kits back nearly untouched it was so terrible.
