Blenheim's, you can buy it at the Farmer's Market.
Go uphill from the main building, past the ATM, into the main building, walk in and turn left. First joint on your left has it.
about where the circle is:

i bought a six pack of blenheim ginger ale at the farmer's market yesterday for $7...i got their hottest (the woman said they had hot, "regular", and diet)
this shit is weak...not impressed
red rock is much much better and is only $1/bottle 10/15/2010 6:47:13 PM |

best ginger beer ever. unfortunately, you can only get the corn syrup version imported and it sucks. the cane sugar version you get in Bermuda is the tits.

for something simple like this, i don't get why they'd make two versions...surely it costs more to have two recipes and multiple batches
i would imagine corn isn't subsidized in bermuda like it is here (though i could be wrong), so i would think it's more expensive 11/6/2010 2:05:17 PM |

i get that for domestic products because HFCS is cheaper and companies would rather save the money than buy unsubsidized cane sugar...but for imported products? is there a tax (or higher tax) for products made with sugar rather than HFCS? 11/6/2010 3:30:29 PM |

how hot do you want it?
harris teeter has a very hot variety, i don't like it
this one Jamaican restaurant here in greensboro has some that i really do like, just the right amount of bite and burn 11/7/2010 1:32:14 AM |

^ why do people keep referencing that crap? it simply isn't good...i mean, it's fine if you've never had decent ginger beer before, but if you have, you'd realize that blenheim is bland 11/7/2010 4:31:29 PM |

i really like blenheim. the hot is too hot for me though. i haven't tried many. i don't like reed's. i only realized a few months ago that i actually like drinking ginger ale other than when i'm sick.
^i read somewhere on here that if something exists, there's always going to be someone who's a snob about it. but still, blenheim >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> seagrams/canada dry/etc

i agree with this
but having had several varieties of "real" ginger ale (or beer or whatever you want to call it), i can honestly say that blenheim is, by far, the blandest and its "hot" variety is a far cry from the others
granted, i've only had a 6-pack of blenheim...maybe it was a bad batch? i still think i'll save money and go with red rock, which is cheaper and tastes better (zomg, snob!)11/7/2010 5:34:04 PM |

I gave Reed's a try and found to be too...I almost want to say fruity. Too sweet also (I like my ginger ale dry). 11/8/2010 4:42:55 PM |

Blenheim is great. I have friends that have me bring the hot Blenheim Ginger Ale back from SC whenever I go to visit because it's awesome with bourbon. Blenheim has changed however because they were purchased and it's no longer made at the spring in Blenheim.
