What’s the best ginger beer(Non alcoholic)

19 replies

ABowlOfPorridge · 31/03/2024 14:38

I’ve been craving ginger beer lately and I’m drinking Old Jamaica and it’s pleasant but the ginger isn’t strong enough for my liking.

I don’t drink alcohol so I’m looking for a non alcoholic version. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

TIA

Fentimans is strong.

Bundaberg is quite nice. Think Sainsburys sell it and don't Crabbies do a non-alcoholic version?

The things I've tried recently are ginger cordial from Lidl (nice kick and you could add soda if you like bubbles) and the little ginger shots in cans which are fiery.

Interested in this thread?

Fentimans is strong.

But not totally AF.

BareBelliedSneetch · 31/03/2024 14:48

Belvoir ginger cordial and fizzy water.

I like fevertree light and mawsons ginger cordial with soda.

Morrisons own brand. I can taste the artificial sweeteners in Fentimans now they have changed the recipe.

ABowlOfPorridge · 31/03/2024 15:15

Thanks all.

I’m looking forward to sampling all of these.

Fentimans was the best until they changed sugar for stevia. If you like old Jamaica, you are probably happy with sweetener though. I agree with pp on Belvoir. Fever tree and Cawston are nice too.

Old Jamaican extra firey is what you need. Add ice and a squeeze of lime. And rum. Mmmmmmm

Ifulikepinacoladas · 31/03/2024 15:29

Waitrose own brand is nicer than Old Jamaica imo.

SleepingisanArt · 31/03/2024 15:39

FeverTree - proper gingery with none of the other added 'flavours' (yes you Fentimans with your pear and that awful tasting stevia).

It's easy to make and there are tons of recipes eg

Breckland Orchard 'posh pop' ginger beer with chilli. Not hot or spicy, just lovely and a slight kick!

wherethewaterisdarker · 31/03/2024 18:22

luscombe hot - best by a long mile imo!

Catopia · 31/03/2024 18:22

We used to make our own AF ginger beer. It's like a pet - you feed it every day (similar to say sourdough). It's good fun and it's really firey. You do need a good stock of 2L pop bottles to put it in though as it multiplies fast!

yaychocolateginandwine · 31/03/2024 18:24

Fevertree !

ABowlOfPorridge · 31/03/2024 18:42

Thanks everyone.

I’ll be trying as many of these as possible.
