I have had their "extra ginger brew" ginger ale and it's quite
strong. My Trader Joe's carries it. It's just too much sugar for me
lately.

Have you ever tried Barq's, the (root) beer that bites back?

Barque's root beer has always been my least favorite, because they put
caffeine into it, unlike Dad's, Hires, or A & W.

I find Vernors too sweet.
Is it just me or has the taste of Canada Dry ginger ale changed? To me, it
tastes more like the old Wilsons product.

As for Vernor's... Pffffffttttttt.... it *used* to be good but now doesn't
even have the bite of a toothless dog! Used to be, you could almost
choke on the ginger just by smelling it... now it's just as mild as any
other flavored water! When I used to travel, I tried to buy it in
different states hoping that maybe a different bottling plant might be
making it as I remembered... but no such luck. I still drink it on
occasion when it's offered but no longer bother purchasing it.

Look at the Vernor's label closely. The word "ale" does not appear on it
anymore. It used to be the best, but not anymore. I was born and raised in
Wayne, just outside Detroit and loved Vernor's. When it became available in
Texas I was overjoyed until I tasted what is now "ginger soda".

For me, it wasn't the sweetness, but the *zing*

I hope not, although I wouldn't doubt that some companies dumb down their
products to cater to the tastes of a weird public. There's so much damned
sugar in everything these days, ya know? But, remember those cute Canada Dry
ads from 20+ years ago, with various characters singing "It's not too
sweet...it's not too sweet. Canada Dry ginger ale, it's not too sweet!"

How could they break that promise? The idea is evil!
