Got the flu earlier this week and did a quick search for Vernors ginger ale. None in sight. I'm a southern boy and my wife is from Michigan. She turned me on to Vernors early on (about 10 years ago). There were a few stores that sold it around here but apparently no more. There were only (2) things I loved about Michigan, the women and the ginger ale. Now I'm down to one

There's nothing like Vernors.

Attjack I saw that on my quest. I'd consider if it was at least 5% ABV. But then again, probably not a good idea to drink with the flu.

I see Vernor's in the stores around Chicago frequently. I love it, but my wife doesn't, so I only buy occasionally. Actually, I've never met a ginger ale I didn't like, just prefer some more than others.

It actually tastes like ginger. I always thought Swchwepp's and the like taste more like pears than ginger. I grew up sipping that when I was sick too, watching Price Is Right and all those.
