Crabbies Alcoholic Ginger Beer

I'd seen the adverts for this - Crabbies Alcoholic Ginger Beer - on TV quite a lot and remarked to my husband I quite fancied trying this. As we don't live near any large Supermarkets I hadn't seen it anywhere but having said that I hadn't actively searched for it either. My husband said he would call into the Netto near his work for some milk on his way home one evening, so imagine my surprise when he presented me with a bottle of this as well..I'm easily bought! The drink comes in a sturdy thick glass bottle. The glass is a rich, dark brown in colour and has a stubby body and equally stubby ... more

Crabbies Alcoholic Ginger Beer I’m sure that you’ve all seen the advert for this relatively new alcoholic drink. With a very upper class 1940s/50s woman holding the bottle of Crabbies. It is advertised as “Refreshing ginger beer, only for grown ups!” John Crabbie & Co is a drinks company founded in 1801 in the ancient Scottish port of Leith; they are well known for their green ginger wine and Crabbie’s Mac (a mixture of Scotch whisky and ginger wine), the brand has now been bought by Halewood International, owner of Red Square Vodka and Lambrini. Naturally I had to try this beer!! Although I ... more

The first time I had ever heard of Crabbies Ginger Beer was when my mate who is a landlady was going mad in her pub. Loads of her customers were asking for it but she was on a waiting list with suppliers to get it, when she did get it on the shelves it was temporary......everyone in her pub was going Crabbies mad! It was a like a new craze. One night in her flat above the pub a few us were behind drinking in her living quarters and we had a huge array of alcohol to choose from and she had got her hands on a load of these for us to try before they sold out and that's when my love affair with ... more

Ginger Beer is actually not a drink I particularly enjoyed as a youngster. Growing up it wasn't something I enjoyed drinking, the flavour was just too strong and we are even talking about the non-alcoholic versions here. As time as past I eventually gave it another go in the form of Crabbie's Original Alcoholic Ginger Beer. The taste is incomparable to the soft drinks ginger beer I tasted in my youth, I am more than happy to say that this grown up drink is delicious! The taste of ginger is very apparent from the outset. Although the scent isn't too strong, the taste certainly has some 'kick' ... more

I frequently enjoy the odd tipple or three and enjoy trying new alcoholic beverages. So when I noticed a bottle of this alcoholic ginger beer from Crabbies in my local supermarket I decided to give it a try. The single bottle cost £2.04 at Sainsburys. The product comes in an attractive 500ml brown glass bottle with raised pictures of the Crabbies elephant logo around the neck and a label with a bright picture of a thistle on which helps to show that this product originates in Scotland (Glasgow to be specific). The bottle is nicely contoured with a slightly wider base than the centre. The ... more

The Contents ************** I cant tell you ... more
