      I actually prefer the heat of ginger beer, but since nobody makes an affordable version, I’ll often settle for ginger ale. Between Verners and CD, I generally prefer Canada Dry. Verners has always seemed a bit too syrupy for my taste.

          It’s basically a far more complex flavor, often with a little less sweetness. The biggest difference is that it’s made with real ginger, so it has noticeable heat that varies by brand. It’s also lightly fermented, not enough to make it alcoholic, but enough to deepen the flavor and allow for natural carbonation. Depending on the maker, it can be more or less filtered, so sometimes there’s a little sediment or a cloudy appearance.
