OK. OK. It isn’t as serious as the temporary shortage wine we had last year.
But, ginger beer, in particular ‘Goslings’ diet ginger beer has been hard to get for the last 3 weeks. Yes, it is NOT the end of the world. Far from it.
There are a few other brands, NOT as good & much more expensive — PLUS the usual GLUT of ginger ale.
Please note that ginger ale & ginger beer are NOT the same thing. Ginger beer, true to its name, is brewed & fermented. Ginger ale is but a flavored drink. Ginger beer has has soul. Ginger beer has been a staple in Britain for centuries. That is where I acquired my taste.
I like a Goslings DIET Ginger Beer for my breakfast after my 10K step hike — each morning.
Goslings, diet or regular, has been missing in store shelves for the last 3 weeks. I looked again, today. NADA. Not the end of the world. I can manage. I can live. And I am sure I probably could order it online. I am NOT that desperate yet.
Just a heads up.
There is a shortage of Goslings Ginger Beer. OK?
I’ve had Gosling Rum before, but never even heard of their Ginger Beer!
Hopefully I’ll get to try it someday.
Fancy that. I had NO idea they made rum! Now I will have to check out their rum. Rum & coke … rum & diet ginger beer. It will work. THANKS. Cheers.
