The ginger ale that took the top spot in our ranking of ginger ales from 11 different brands comes from Boylan, an underrated brand founded in 1891 by pharmacist William Boylan.

The amount of carbonation in the drink is perfect and not overwhelming at all. It features a bold ginger taste that's not overpoweringly spiced

and a subtle lemon aftertaste.

Most ginger ale brands use a synthetic concentrate instead of real ginger, but Boylan doesn't do that. Its natural ingredients soothe our stomachs

and provide lots of antioxidants.

Boylan doesn't use artificial syrups and is one of the few brands that swap corn syrup for real cane sugar in their recipes. Even the lemon-lime flavors come from real lemon oils.
