Despite the word ale being in the title of the soda, ginger ale is traditionally an alcohol-free refreshment, but that certainly isn't the case with Not Your Father’s Ginger Ale, which is deliciously brewed to have a 5.9% ABV. Now, Not Your Father’s Ginger Ale isn't ginger ale that has had alcohol added to it, but is rather an ale that has been brewed with fresh ginger to offer ladies and gentlemen alike a refreshing, easy to drink beer that's something of a hybrid between a classic beer and a soda.
Best served over ice, Not Your Father’s Ginger Ale features old fashioned branding that helps increase the masculine aesthetic and catch the eyes of guys passing by it in the beer aisle.
