A Sea Of Red

Had some Butterscotch Beer from Flying Cauldron last week. The stuff is amazing. They label it beer, but it's just butterscotch-flavored cream soda. My son has a new favorite.

I'm guessing that's a knockoff of Butter Beer (also non-alcoholic) from the Leaky Cauldron? Its really good frozen. The Pumpkin Juice is just meh, but especially after the butter beer.

A faculty friend of mine mentioned that a student gave him an Ale-8-One when he was late to class today. Has anyone tried one, and can you get them anywhere near Lynchburg or only in Kentucky? I understand that it's a regional ginger ale.

There is now a Not-Your-Father's Ginger Ale as well. I haven't had it yet. Still debating whether or not to buy Virgil's Dr. Better, although I hadn't seen at Trader Joe's in recent weeks.

I've only seen Ale-8 in Kentucky.
I tried Dr. Better, thought it was pretty good. They sell it in Walmart.
There's one I keep wanting to try, Curiosity Cola, but it's a little pricey. If only I had won the Powerball...
