NOT!

Sorry, but I have sorely missed real ginger beer since my grandmama moved
to Aussieland, she brewed the best.

I have never found a commercial ginger beer that was really all that good.
A few brands that spring to mind are "Cock and Bull" and "Dearmans" but
they are no better than OK. 

There are a couple of british stores in Santa Monica near the Kings Head
Pub that might have stock Ginger Beer, but their names escape me.
