I appreciated all of those who contributed with comments as well. Although I may be a little late in joining the conversation, I recently drank my first ginger beer and I'm hooked. I had a Cock n' Bull on our most recent trip to Portland and I've been trying to find it around here in southern Oregon ever since. It has not been easy and I've only been able to find a couple of other brands that have not lived up to the taste or good burn I've come to crave. I will be stocking up in our next trip.

Hearing of the Aussies "Bundaberg"…think I am going to book a vacation...

I'm continually amazed that Reed's is the most readily available ginger beer wherever I go in the US. Might just go to show it has a large following. Seeing as you're on the east coast you might be able to find Barritts which we reviewed in our 2010 ginger beer tasting. It got high marks and mixes very well in a D&S. @Jack, Thanks for the comment.

I'm in NYC and increasingly it's all I can find anywhere (so of course I buy nothing rather than tainting my goslings with something that tastes like it should be cleaning mold from bathroom tiles). There's hardly any regatta anywhere and no goya (my personal favorite). How do you think we could best go on a campaign to get shop owners to stop stocking reed's? thank you guys for calling out reed’s.

Never had another as good but the heat of the Goya comes a close second. Alas, no ginger bits though. I with you on the Bundy! Never had another as good but the heat of the Goya comes a close second.

The Aussies have the best... Bundaberg Ginger Beer... It's got bits in it and no High Fructose Corn Syrup... they use old fashion sugar... The closest to it is the Goya then Maine Root Ginger Brew Been drinking Ginger Beers and Brews a long time…

I have never been a soda drinker but after finding Goya ginger beer I aimlessly look for place to buy it, this is not an easy task, so when I find it I usually by all they have on the self (not kidding) people look at me like I am nuts...maybe so! By the way, if you are a crazy ginger freak like me try Triple Ginger Cookies by Back to Nature....not easy to find either (usually in whole/natural foods) but absolutely worth the search.

Pretty astounded about the low review of Reed's. I maybe attribute it to mixing dark n' stormy's as Reed's does not typically mix well with dark rum... However, mix a little Reed's extra with a vodka drink (moscow mule) :) and the vodka cuts the sweetness considerably and it rounds out to a nice drink. I've got a few reviews myself coming as this post has me searching for the best. I have to agree on the Maine Root, it has proven to be my favorite yet. Thanks for the wide array of reviews. I have one to add for you (JCS Brand) and will post the link to my blog once the reviews are up. A little late on this post… but recently found myself yearning for a delectable ginger beer.
