    where in Jersey are ya?
    Porkslap is around its just not a big seller in some stores so they dropped it as a brand and most will special order it for you if they deal with Black River Traders.
    Some others:
    terrapin cigar city colab "Vapricot" apricot ginger IIPA
    Left hand Good Juju
    Penn Ginger beer
    Shiner Ruby redbird has ginger
    Idk if magic hat stealing time is still around or not
    Crabbies ginger beer?
    heritage honey ginger wheat
    Hitachino Nest Ginger

    thats all i can think of off the top of my head thats available in NJ (or at least what we've carried in the past)

    Using Crabbies as the mixer in a Dark and Stormy is the secret to knowing the true name of God.

    I don't know how far they distribute, but Foley Bros. out of Vermont make two ginger wheat beers - one called Native Ginger Wheat which I thought was very good but a bit weak on the ginger because it was a little long in the tooth.

    Jack's Abby Ginger and Juice I liked quite a bit - very good ginger flavor. But as said above I don't think they are bottling it, but they might be.

    Crabbies is awful, it's also not a proper beer, just an alcopop. Id just get some old jamaica ginger beer and add vodka if you want to go that route, it would taste nicer :slight_smile:

    Williams Bros Midnight Sun has a touch of ginger added to it but it is in the background

    Full Steam Cackalacky from Durham N.C. It's a Pale Ale and carries a good load of ginger. Also, very easy to drink more than a few.

    Harpoon made a ginger wheat beer in a big bottle that I thought was excellent. Was one of the first bombers I ever bought. =)

    I'm right there with you on that one. Seems like there are lots of beers with ginger in them, and I've had quite a few. Harpoon's Ginger Wheat somehow managed to be one of the best incorporations. It was part of the 100 Barrel Series, so we are unlikely to see it again, but there is hope since it was actually reprised once already
