Me too, but it has to be the brewed stuff, like Saxbys or Bundaberg. It's still non-A.

Have you tried making it yourself? Not the brewed sort, more of a fresh type. Jamie Oliver has a recipe.

Waw, not had ginger ale in years, it's got quite a bite to it hasn't it? My father in law brews his own, it's more of a Christmas thing for him though! Not sure the link with Christmas but hey ho....👍

Love good string ginger ale, but I'm not a fan of sugar. I love to make ginger tea. Chop up some fresh ginger root, boil for about 10 min til good and strong, strain and enjoy. Not for the faint of heart.

I recall reading somewhere that Canada Dry is the only major domestic ginger ale that has ginger in it.

I think your'e right. IMO, it's the best ginger ale there is, even though it's not the "real" stuff. Real ginger ale, brewed, is much more bitter rather than sweet. Canada Dry is probably so good because it's so sugary, haha. I don't think Seagrams can compare...

Dang it, now I want some! Haven't had it in years.

It is true- some brands of ginger ale are not the real thing. The real thing will cost more.

Ginger ale is great...ginger beer, which I think is what some of you are talking about, is not so good. I used to think they were the same thing until a recent experience with ginger beer....ugh, nasty stuff. Canada Dry is great. I drink it on the plane all the time. Oddly I found that is the only time, on a plane that is, I used to drink it and I have talked to other people who have said the same thing. Strange. Not sure what it is about air travel that makes ginger ale so appealing.
