yeah, there are some pitchers anyone can steal on. the royals usually have a pretty good handle on that.
i just made myself a dark&stormy with the new trader joes ginger beer (not their old shitty one). either it's fantastic or i've starved myself of d&s's for so long that any one would taste good. not super gingery, but gingery enough with a nice botanical aftertaste. might be too sweet for nolimers, but i use a lot of lime so it works for me.
