oh dang you need to try it from a glass bottle!

[dakotafloyd]

Yeah!  The canned version was still made with real sugar, but I'm after the bottled version for sure.

[lindsey]

limca sounds amazing

[Anna Karina]

Me? I'm an Inca Kola man myself.

More bubblegum soda?  You people make me sick!

[moreaboutwhozackis]

I tried my first ginger beer today! I really enjoy the flavor, the slight spiciness makes my tongue very happy!

What'd ya have?  Some of my favorite ginger drinks are Buffalo Rock Ginger Ale, Maine Root Ginger Brew, Gosling's Ginger Beer, Trader Joe's Triple Ginger Brew, and Swamp Pop Jean Lafitte Ginger Ale.

Honorable mention goes to Goya Jamaican Ginger Beer, Bundaberg Ginger Beer, Ale-8-One, Royalty Ginger Beer, and Red Rock Golden Ginger Ale.

I've had Reeds, I plan on ordering different types. Also! Per one of your longest standing recommendations to me, I ordered a bottle of the Special Edition Virgil's Root Beer and a bottle of Red Rock Cola. I'm practically sitting on my own hands with excitement.

You guys ever had Vernors ginger ale soda? I think it tastes disgusting.

[rory]

Vernors is yet another terrible Michigan thing I am needlessly loyal to. It's bad but it's not really that bad.

[dakotafloyd]

Oh, Vernors.  It's more weird to me than anything.  I don't think I like it, but deep down I kind of know of do.  It's like a creamy ginger ale.  Very strange.

Rory (and anyone else from Michigan), what are your thoughts on Towne Club, if you've had it?  TC Peach was one of the first sodas that inspired me to dedicate a pretty big chunk of tour time to finding local sodas in the cities we played in.

Frostie is also a Michigan thing, right?

[Anna Karina]

Vernors works pretty well with bourbon.

I've never heard of either of these, but I'll look for them!

[moreaboutwhozackis]

I wouldn't call Frostie a Michigan only thing, I can get it at a local bookstore here in Az

[dakotafloyd]

Yeah, I guess I should have phrased that differently.  It's available nearly everywhere, just owned by a Detroit company, I think.

[rory]

Yeah I looked it up and that's a somewhat recent change. I think sometimes too stuff is well distributed on the East side of the state near Detroit, but poorly over where I am. But according to wikipedia, Towne Club is available in Kalamazoo, so I should go on a quest for it.

Today I'm eating rice with german mushroom sauce (with a bit of non-alcoholic beer in it) together with some really unnatural vegan schnitzels. With this I am drinking Fanta Lemon.

Nomnomnom.

Vernors tastes like a McDonalds apple pie

[bee]

actual bubblegum FLAVOUR soda is great and there should be more.

[dakotafloyd]

How about soda flavored bubblegum?

[jer]

Holy shit, Dr Pepper gum? All my dreams...

[Anna Karina]

I would assume that's better in theory than execution, just like that shitty Dr. Pepper lip balm.

[dakotafloyd]

It mainly just tastes like black cherry, and I want to eat it instead of just chewing it.

[dakotafloyd]

Has anyone here tried any of the Fentimans sodas?

I HATED the first one I had because I was just expecting a casual Coca-Cola-esque soda, but now I love 'em.  Very hearty, intricate flavors.

[bee]

had 'em all (they are from the uk).

my faves are rose lemonade and dandelion and burdock.

[dakotafloyd]

Hey kw and / or bee, ever try Tommyknocker Root Beer?  I picked one up on a whim while I was on tour, and it's one of the most unique RBs I've tried yet.  Flavored with pure cane sugar AND maple syrup.  It was like pancake root beer.

Also, currently sipping my first Fentimans Rose Lemonade.  Delicious!  For some reason, I guess the tartness, it makes me think of a really good grapefruit soda.
