????? Vernor's to me is a cross between seven up and gingerale.
If you want steroids, try Reed's Extra Ginger Beer, or Cock and Bull
Ginger Beer. Vernors is MILD to me.

I regularly drink Natural Brew Ginger Ale, and it's made from jamaican
ginger, and is fairly potent.

Reed's Extra Ginger is made from Jamaican ginger as well, but I don't
find it as peppy as Natural Brew.

Jamaican ginger beers are another thing altogether
and are nothing like either our regular ginger
ale or Vernor's.

Oops, I should've finished that post... I also meant to mention some
of the ginger beers: Reed's also makes one, although it's fairly mild.
It's a much different taste, although I do enjoy a ginger beer on
occasion as well. D+G Ginger Beer is a lot more potent. Most of them
I've had were kind of lemony, and had a bit of something bitter in
them too, Gentian perhaps?

I think Cock and Bull was a British-Jamaican concoction. I see it in
better groceries. Reed's is widely available, at least out here. I think
they all started from a Jamaican recipe.
