Click to ENLARGE. BEST DIET Ginger Beer in the U.S.

Ginger Ale/Ginger Beer, in DIET form (of course), is the ONLY soda I drink. I drink it in the morning, for breakfast, after my daily, 10K step amble. I like the carbonated bubbles.

DIET ginger beer is hard to come by in the U.S.

Ginger Ale is what sells in the U.S.

The beer is different from the ale in that it is FERMENTED & as such has more taste, body & punch.

I came across the ‘Irish Ginger Ale’ bottles last week — mainly because Hannaford had run out of their ginger ale.

I was impressed by the taste. Not bad at all. NOT a ginger beer, but about 70% towards it. So, that is the deal.

Irish Ginger Ale = .7 Ginger Beer.

OK. OK. It isn’t as serious as the temporary shortage wine we had last year.

But, ginger beer, in particular ‘Goslings’ diet ginger beer has been hard to get for the last 3 weeks. Yes, it is NOT the end of the world. Far from it.

There are a few other brands, NOT as good & much more expensive — PLUS the usual GLUT of ginger ale.

Please note that ginger ale & ginger beer are NOT the same thing. Ginger beer, true to its name, is brewed & fermented. Ginger ale is but a flavored drink. Ginger beer has has soul. Ginger beer has been a staple in Britain for centuries. That is where I acquired my taste.

I like a Goslings DIET Ginger Beer for my breakfast after my 10K step hike — each morning.

Goslings, diet or regular, has been missing in store shelves for the last 3 weeks. I looked again, today. NADA. Not the end of the world. I can manage. I can live. And I am sure I probably could order it online. I am NOT that desperate yet.

Just a heads up.

There is a shortage of Goslings Ginger Beer. OK?
