Title: Ginger Beer
Post by: Anne on May 05, 2018, 21:39:21 PM

My new favourite tipple is Kraken and ginger beer. 
Don't think it's something I've seen over there, ever but am wondering if there is anything similar available?

Kraken?  A bit posh Anne  ;)

The only place I can think of that may have it is Car Cem in Fethiye.  The biggest problem for bar owners is that the tax on imported spirits is so high folks tend to steer clear of a lot of speciality brands, last year it was 171.07tl per litre of alcohol.  AND it goes up twice a year!

Closest you're likely to find is Morgan Spiced I suspect.

Should have made that a wee bit clearer John.
I'll  get the Kraken in duty free.  Is the ginger beer I'm asking about.

Don't remember ever seeing it, closest might be:

Chuck out the fourteen pairs of shoes and five handbags from your hold bag and fill it up with a few dozen cans of old Jamaica, got to get the priorities right  ;)

The pork shop had Idris ginger beer last year but the supply tends to be hit and miss..

There's a ginger beer in a gold coloured can (think there's an elephant image on side of can) available in most shops , definitely seen it in Melissa's & rambos shop near the front & I bought a really spicy ginger beer in the pork shop near the lighthouse,  this one was in a glass bottle but can't remember anymore then that, will try to get pics of both.
