Nectar of the Gods - or at least Detroit

Found this in a Cracker Barrel this morning:

It's a southeast MI thing...

They sell it in cans in the local grocery store I shop at. I love Vernors. One of my friends growing up always had it in the house. His Dad was from Michigan, I guess that explains it.

Thats some good stuff. I hardly ever see it down here

I actually had Vernors in Mass 20 or so years ago.

Yup, a true ginger ale. It’s available here in WI. My MN wife is now hooked on it. If I remember it’s original bottling plant was on Livernois Ave. A Detroit treasure. 👍 🕶

The best of the best. Doens't really taste like a true ginger beer, but it's as close as anything that's not a true ginger beer. Reminds me of being sick as a kid. My mom would always give us Vernors when we had sour stomachs as kids.

FireMan, Huskee, my mom gave us room temp Vernor's for upset stomachs. And I haven't heard soda called "pop" for awhile; the first time I told my southern wife I wanted a pop, she had no idea what I was talking about. Down here they call everything coke. Even when it is not a coke.

Now all I need is some Better Made chips to go with it.

Huskee , different generation, it is what we did.
