Yeah, I know, not a root beer, but I stumbled across some of this and had to buy it because of the nostalgic factor. When I was a kid, every summer when we went to the beach, we would drive through Blenheim, South Carolina. We’d stop and get gas, and my dad would buy us a Blenheim Ginger Ale, ice cold in the bottle out of one of those waist high chest coolers. The company has 3 different formulas, but #3 and #5 (#9 is diet) are the ones worth checking out. #3 is distinguished by the red cap, and it’s formal name is “Old #3 Hot”. This is truly an understatement. The 12 oz bottle is almost difficult to consume, and has an almost overwhelming spicy hot ginger flavor that burns your tongue off! #5 is a little less intense, but still holds it’s own. If you ever see this stuff, it’s worth a try, and it will leave you wondering how Canada Dry and Seagrams can actually be called Ginger Ale…
