Ginger and Beer

Rare Barrel has a few beers with ginger - Tigerlily and Sourtooth Tiger!

 

A local brewery from my city (in Mexico) has a Ginger Ale. The brewery is Puerco Salvaje.

 

I'm in the southeast region, but some of the ginger brews readily available to me are

Left Hand Good Juju ale w/ginger (summer seasonal, I think?, CO)
Westbrook White Thai / Belgina Wit with ginger & lemongrass, (year round, Charleston, SC)
Monday Night Fu Manbrew / ale w/ginger (year round, ATL, GA)

and a new one just came out, collab between Terrapin (Athens, GA) and Cigar City (Tampa, FL)
it's a Double IPA called Vapricot with ginger and apricot added.

Cheers!

 

Porkslap is all over NYC, usually. You can get it at pretty much any beer shop. Good Juju from Left Hand and White Thai from Westbrook come to mind as well.

However, Hitachino Nest Real Ginger Brew is by far my favorite and the highest quality Ginger Ale I can think of. It's a really fantastic beer.

 

Left Hand Good Juju if you can find it, as it was the seasonal before Oktoberfest.
Crabbie's Ginger Beer, if you want pure ginger flavor

 

Black River Traders is the (almost) state-wide NJ distributor for the Butternut brands - they could probably help you find it or you could find a retailer who carries the other BRT distributed brands and have them order it for you.

 

I'll second the Vapricot collaboration. Lots of ginger flavor there.

Hardywood's Gingerbread Stout (GBS) and all of its variants are awesome. Bourbon, Rum, Christmas Morning (coffee).

 

Have a 6er of the Vapricot in the fridge as I speak... haven't sampled it yet, maybe tonite.

 

A local WI brewery in Sheboygan, 3 Sheeps Brewing, has a beer called Ewephoria which is a chocolate ginger stout. When it gets to the right temperature, it's a flavor explosion!

 

You guys got 6ers? Or did you mean 4pk?

 

That's a good beer!

 

Had Cack-a-Lacky ginger pale ale by Fullsteam Brewery in NC last week, it was ok.

Probably only available in NC though

 

I'll third or fourth the Terrapin Vapricot - a much better beer than I expected.

 

Tigerlily is radtastic.

 

I second the rec for Left Hand's Good Juju. They also make an imperial version called Great Juju. Skip the Cack-a-Lacky though. I did not enjoy that beer.

 

I immediately thought of Ewephoria too when I read the title. You wouldn't think that a ginger stout would work well but this one does.

 

Then you gotta try some variants my friend! They're all great.

 

Jack's Abby Ginger and Juice (http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/26520/83627/). Limited, brewery only release, but certainly fits the bill. I don't think it's been bottled since the original run, but they've had growler fills at least twice a year.
