am I surprised jlloyd commented on this… not at all… should he be surprised that his daughter stumbled upon his comment randomly on the web… absolutely not!

Thanks for the great review. 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.

I finally got tired of my endless search for Goya and went to the local grocery store and asked if they could order me 4-5 cases when their Goya rep came in…they did and I am happy again sitting on the beach drinking my dark and stormy in one of the most beautiful place in the world~ Gulf or Mexico shoreline in Florida. Hearing of the Aussies “Bundaberg”…think I am going to book a vacation…

@Steve, Thanks for the update on the Kiwi ginger beer landscape. Happy to hear Gladstones is getting more exposure outside of Gisborne. I’d love to return to NZ for a number of reasons – one being to sample Hakanoa.

Gladstones now seems to be available in Auckland from The Warehouse, of all places! I’ve been stocking up.

Hakanoa I discovered in Howick market a few weeks back – I think it is relatively new on the scene and is very tasty, although a bit pricy. The person selling it was the actual maker herself, so its not produced in large quantities I think. They also do a ginger concentrate which is rather nice mixed with hot milk…

I’d send you a bottle but shipping would be prohibitive.

@Roger, I would love to try Hakanoa Handmade. Unfortunately I didn’t come across it on my trip to NZ. If you want to ship a sample to the states I’d be happy to do a tasting.

@Jack, Thanks for the comment. 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.

thank you guys for calling out reed’s. 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?
