ideal ginger ale strength

@JulieSqveakaroo we haven't had that one in a long time so don't recall how strong it is

The first sip after opening a can will usually make me need to sneeze from the ginger. I'd say it's about 2.5 Canada Dry's strength.

@JulieSqveakaroo "need to sneeze" makes me think stronger than ale81 but it's hard to place multiplicatively because canada dry's strength feels like bascally zero to us

@JulieSqveakaroo @Felthry Since moving to Michigan I've learned that Vernor's is what correct ginger ale tastes like.

Also that Canada Dry is apparently made by setting a bottle of pop ingredients in the same room as some ginger, without opening it, for about ten minutes and then shipping it to stores.

@Austin_Dern @JulieSqveakaroo @Felthry I like Canada Dry, anything more powerful would be uncomfortable. Plus, I generally think of Ginger Ale as being the weak version, and Ginger Beer being the strong version. That said, the only Ginger Beers I've had were Jamaican Imports, so that's kinda fancy.

I have had Vernors and Shweppes and I think some others? Not the other two Felthry named though.
