Anywhere else that anyone knows of? Fri Oct 30 08:39:50 -0700 2009 23376 nsenada 1 5142822 That stuff is worth hunting down. Best ginger beer I ever had, and it's Dark and Stormy season. Fri Oct 30 08:41:15 -0700 2009 5142818 10169 StriperGuy 2 5142872 Oh, yes. I picked up some Old Monk from Federal Wines, and had one with Gosling's (nee Barritt's) Ginger Beer, but I've heard tell that Stewart's is the best. I also tried Maine Roots, and Reed's Extra, but so far the Gosling's brand is the best I've tried. Fri Oct 30 08:58:22 -0700 2009 5142822 23376 nsenada 3 5142929 I just realized, I was confused... AJ Stephan's was the brand I was thinking of... http://www.ajstephans.com/AJStephans/pages/recipes.htm It's made here in MA and it is really good. I have had it in bars and it is better then Barritt's. Sorry for the confusion, but this stuff is very good.

It can be found in Stop-N-Shop's international isle in both individual and 2 liter bottles, depending on which store you visit. Fri Oct 30 10:59:31 -0700 2009 5142818 107221 steve999 2 5143434 Thanks - I've heard that packs a capsicum wallop. I've also heard that Fentiman's is supposed to be good. Fri Oct 30 11:44:58 -0700 2009 5143271 23376 nsenada 3 5143523 Not a fan of the Goya, too spicy. Fentiman's is an expensive import I've only found online and IIRC 10 oz bottles. Fentiman's is very floral and works better in a Moscow Mule where the unflavored vodka (don't shoot me) allows you to taste the ginger beer, I didn't like the Gosling's Fentiman's combo. Cock N' Bull, another I've only been able to get online (read expensive) is supposed to be from the original bar. I liked it a lot. I regularly pass on AJ Stevens, Maine Root and Reed's Jamaican. All seem unbalanced in one way or another. I usually go for Barritt's or the new Gosling's (same thing?). Sorry but the only place I've seen Stewart's is online.

Made a really bad dark and stormy. Fri Oct 30 15:36:04 -0700 2009 5143811 10169 StriperGuy 1 5143741 I haven't been in a while, but I think Verrill Farms, in Concord, carries Stewart's products. Fri Oct 30 13:49:31 -0700 2009 5142818 10820 Blumie 2 5149787 Thanks! I'm going to try calling, it turns out that Market Basket no longer carries it (good thing I called first). Mon Nov 02 12:45:45 -0800 2009 5143741 23376 nsenada 3 5150079 Oh, God, the horror - I just found out Stewart's, allegedly one of the finest ginger beers ever, discontinued that flavor in July. It would have been nice if they had indicated this on their website. Mon Nov 02 13:53:18 -0800 2009 5149787 23376 nsenada
