    Seriously, you guys all want what we'd call Ginger Beer?! You can buy ginger beer in almost any supermarket in the UK!! I'd imagine it's a pretty similar situation in the US. Hell, you can even buy it in practically every Newsagent in the UK! Here in the UK We call 'stoney tangawizi'/ginger soda GINGER BEER and it's kept near to the Coca Cola. It's also known as GINGER BEER in the US. Idk about the rest of Europe however.
      Beer is supposed to be alcoholic
      No way, Tangawizi is NOT the same taste as standard gingerale! It's more spicy. I love it as well and wish I could find it in Holland!

        he didn't say "ginger ale", he said "ginger beer" - in all caps at that. No one said anything about ginger ale.

      You make an effective troll. Ginger beer or ale or whatever as found in North America has little flavor other than sugar. On a first experience with Tangawizi some folks can feel it in their nose from the inside out. It has a strong flavor and is very good.

        Good of you to inform him, three years later , but you are wrong

        The carbonated soft drink (soda pop) called ginger ale has more flavor than mere sugar and soda, including ginger and lime, but yes, it is mild and sweet compared to ginger beer.

        Ginger beer however, has less carbonation and sugar, and more ginger flavor, but naturally the strength varies between manufacturers and brands.

        Even in Africa , from the same manufacturer, Stoney Tangawizi , some versions are milder and sweeter than others

        I like to use the strong version of Stoney Tangawizi , the kind sold in East Africa, to shower. I prefer it to soap, and I especially like to wash my testicles with it.

      Stoney Tangawizi is NOT ginger beer. it is a delicious soda- Can anyone tell me about its SUGAR CONTENT, which is how I landed on this very friendly site!
