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
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.
Scotch: Current favorite- The Arran (anything by them), Glenmorangie 12yr Lasanta, sherry cask finished. The Balvenie Double Wood, also like Oban 18yr, and The Glenlivet Nadurra (Oloroso sherry cask finished) among others. Neat please.

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.
I do love Vernor's!. It's what my parents always gave me as a kid when I had an upset stomach. It's also the key ingredient in a Boston Cooler, if you're into ice cream floats.
