Not Your Father’s Ginger Ale

Brewery: Small Town Brewing Co, Wauconda, IL
Beer Style:  Ale with Ginger Added
ABV:  5.9%

Kinda tastes like ginger ale. Still can’t really taste the alcohol. Reminds me a little of a shot of vodka in a glass of ginger ale. I can see this being extremely popular among “non-beer” drinkers.  This is one of those beers that I’m glad that I had the chance of trying, but I’m not sure how often I would buy it.  Now, if I wasn’t a fan of beer, and I did like ginger ale, this would be the perfect “party solution”  allowing me to drink beer somewhere without feeling like I was excluded.  Not Your Father’s Ginger Ale should be enjoyed with ice, much like a regular ginger ale — just don’t forget it’s almost 6% ABV

Kovac’s fond memories of his family’s homemade ginger ale and hard lemon candy inspired him to spend several years painstakingly refining his recipe for a sessionable, alcoholic ginger ale with a nuanced, yet refreshingly familiar taste and aroma. Not Your Father’s Ginger Ale presents a masterfully balanced ginger and citrus body, with hints of black currant lending complementary floral and fruity spice notes. The end result is a pioneering craft specialty ale that delivers what we believe is a truly worthy and unparalleled evolution of another beverage icon.
