PalmettoSailor will become famous soon enough
I know this is an older thread but I wanted to share my experience with Goslings recently introduced Ginger Beer. Its "da bomb". We were introduced to Dark and Stormy's using the "Offical" ingredients of Goslings Dark and Barritts and loved them. However we found it next to impossible to find Barritts in our area. We tried a bunch of different substitutes some of which were tolerable, some just awful.

Well now, Goslings is making their own Ginger Beer and for whatever reason, it seems to be available at most beverage stores in our area. The good news is it indistuguishable from Barritts and far, far better than anything else we've been able to find. So if you like "real" Dark and Stormy's and can't find Barritts look for the Goslings and know it'll make a great D&S. Good Drinkin'!
