ISO: Barrett Ginger Beer

[catsmeow]

I searched this board and found it posted that Market Basket carried it. I looked today and they don't(at least the one in Somerville didn't have it). Has anyone seen it? Thanks.

I get it at the Medford Kappy's, at 16 and 28.

Another good brand of ginger beer is AJ Stephans which is made in MA. It is a little stronger than Barrett's and mixes very well. You can find it at Bauer's on Newbury, Savenor's in Cambridge and the Deluca's on Charles used to have it on occasion. I have seen it used at Middlesex, Franklin Cafe and other places.

I'm not a fan of the AJ's. A close relative of Barritt's is Gosling's self labled ginger beer which is now more common than Barritt's. I think Polar Beverage is canning it for Gosling's. One of my local places, Solstice in Kingston, switched to Fentiman's which I like better than both.

Charles Street Liquors in Beacon Hill has it. I think it was $7 or $8 for a six pack. And that relatively new wine/beer store in Brookline Village on Harvard Ave. has it sometimes but not always (I'm not sure why).

The Boston Shaker in Davis Square carries a variety of ginger beers. I believe that Barritt's is one of them. If you haven't checked out The Shaker, do it. It's a great shop run by some great people.

I recently got a 6 pack of cans, probably at the former Mall Discount (Can't remember the new name) next to whole foods in Fresh Pond. I got the diet variety, which tasted pretty good.

Excellent! I'm in that area a lot. Thanks

Barritt's, not Barrett. I saw it by the six-pack and by the case at Martignetti's on Soldiers Field Road last weekend.

Thanks Jenny. I realized that I mispelled it after posting.
