Vernors isn't carried in my neck of the woods, so I wiki-ed it, and must say it has the single most spurious genesis story I have ever encountered:
"According to legend, he [James Vernor] left a mixture of ginger, vanilla and spices sitting in an oak cask in his pharmacy. After returning from battle four years later, he opened the keg and found the drink inside had been changed by the aging process in the wood. It was like nothing else he had ever tasted, and he reportedly declared it "Deliciously different," which remains the drink's motto to this day."
I am a bookish, neurotic type. Clinically anxious, musically inclined. I love jazz and sport and scotch and modern art and satellite radio and the people close to me (more than those other things). I have multiple versions of the same shirt and would sell my soul (well, figuratively) for a Karman Ghia. Sushi, a hoppy IPA, and an old Woody Allen movie in the DVD player or Thelonious Monk on the stereo and I'm in my happy place.

I've never had it...I think!

Dubious, to say the least...
PW, Kat, order Vernor's by mail. Seek it out.
Kat: You doubt the Vernor's legend? It's true, it's all true. It's the magic bullet of sodas.
