[Closed] Crabbies Ginger Beer - what's it like?

It is like ginger beer, uncannily like ginger beer. I like it, got it when I saw it behind the bar.
I guess it is like ginger beer because, well it is ginger beer?

Really nice imo - doesn't taste like booze though.

Disappointing. Not nearly as good as I hoped for - and I like beer and I like ginger wine.

its ok. its refreshing but like the others say it dont taste like booze

so it's like ginger beer then?

Is it as nice as Fentimans?

Which is "canny" as the locals say round here, but just a soft drink (think it's like 0.5% ABV)

Very pleasant and refreshing. Not as nice the home brew ginger beer my brother made last year, but probably nowhere near as strong either...

Its like ginger beer - very nice, just don't mix it with vodka...

It's gorgeous for a change and with alcohol! Slice of lemon, very sophisticated 😆

It's nice but as others have said doesn't taste like booze, more like an alcopop but less artificial tasting, could be dangerous, perhaps just stick to Fentiman's

next time i have it i will have it with a a drop of whisky!

Managed about 9 bottles one evening during the summer.

It gave me a headache!!!

Its very very drinkable, refreshing and it's possible to drink alot cos it doesnt taste alcoholic 😉

I love it, makes a change from the usual cider things knocking around , very refreshing.

I bought it at Sainsbury's in the real ale section.

Not as nice the home brew ginger beer my brother made last year

sounds interesting, any chance you could post or email me the recipe?

it's pretty good
goes well with a nice steak sandwich

I think this is the recipe, or at least very similar:

We used the "plant" version, which you can re-use to make a new batch every week or so. It is a bit of a faff to get going, but the end result was pretty damn good.

I really wasn't keen on it, and I love normal ginger beer.

Morrisons have bought lots, they expect it to be the next big thing

Rather nice and Supermarkets have had it in for a few years now but seems to be a marketing campaign at the moment for it. Working too never any in stock at our local Sainsburys and there always was to a few weeks ago.
