Starbucks Introduces a New Line of 'Healthier' Breakfast Foods
My local coffee shop has *the* Perfect Oatmeal, and I wish I could replicate it at home. It's a hot brick of Irish (whole) oats, inside of which are concealed piping hot fresh berries and nuts. You get it to go with a little container of cold milk to pour on top, and it stays warm for at least 20 minutes due to it's contained nature. Starbucks should replicate that... heck, I wish I could replicate it at home!

The Serious Eats Ginger Beer Taste Test
This might only be available in the Midwest, but Sprecher Ginger Beer, and all of their other sodas, is very clean, strong, and gingery- give it a try!

Hey, if you have gotten over your ginger beer shell shock and decide to do another review, please include Jamaca's Finest Ginger Beer from the Natrona Bottling Company. I think it's far better than those citrus-y, honey, pineapple-y, fruity, too-sweet, brew-y beverages you have tried.
Cheers!

Here in Japan, we had an autumn beer with ginger in it.... that`s lager beer.
Totally refreshing drunkeness!

I'm a big fan of Barritts, which used to be part of the "official" recipe for a Dark 'n' Stormy according to the company that makes Goslings Black Seal Rum (which has apparently trademarked the name "Dark 'n' Stormy" and their version of the recipe).
Barritts is no longer listed as part of the recipe since Goslings now markets their own Goslings brand ginger beer. Haven't tasted it myself but there's a discussion on LTHForum.com from those who have.

Fentimans Ginger Beer is awesome. If you like it you need to try the
Seville Orange Jigger, it could also be described as funky!

I like Barritts Bermuda stone ginger beer, which comes in cans. They carry it at my liquor store in Cambridge and we drank it a lot with the rum in St. John's

@all you Maine Root fans, I stumbled upon a bottle this weekend, bought it, and will crack it open with dinner tonight.
@everyone asking about Vernor's. My dad is from Michigan so this was the soda of choice in our house, when we had soda. In my experience, if you don't watch it when you open a can it will give you a coughing fit. It's some powerful stuff, but I wouldn't say it's a true ginger beer.

Natural Brew Outrageous gingerale ..just the right kick

There was a brand of ginger beer called Old Tyme that was stellar but I haven't seen it in a few years and I believe the company must have gone under. Of the brands that I've been able to find locally (Atlanta), Saranac is my favorite but if I may expand the discussion to include ginger ale, a local brand named Red Rock simply cannot be beat. Very crisp and sharp, I believe there's a hint of cayenne in it. It's best served very cold, which really brings out its crispness.

@OTC617 - I couldn't agree with you more! Maine Root has the best Ginger Brew I have ever tasted! Is it too early for a D&S I wonder?

DG Jamaican (the original) and Maine Root Ginger Brew...deep, rich, cloudy, not too sweet and peppery delicious!

The only kind I can get here after looking hard is Goya’s. It is pretty gingery, and I will cough if not careful. Sometimes a whiff is enough to make me sneeze. If it were a bit less sweet, I think I wouldn’t mind either.

The best is always home-made. I'm a huge fan of Alton Brown's ginger beer:

In Kenya they have a soda called "Stoney Tangawizi" which is very spicy and floral... I wish I could get it here!

Bundaberg is definitely our go-to. Dark, cloudy, just the right amount of spicy.

I love Fentiman's. You should try their Curiosity Cola - that stuff is so addictive. It's bloody expensive though.

I order the perfect oatmeal with no water. When I am ready to eat it, I add the water and pop it into the microwave - that way it isn't cold and disgusting by the time I get to work.
