Subject: Thank You!

I've been a long-time fan of Virgil's Root Beer but recently, thanks to some nasty morning sickness, was prompted to give your Premium Ginger Ale a try. I picked it up at my local Whole Foods and figured even if it didn't do a damn thing for my nausea, it would at least taste better than the Canada Dry alternative. Well...lo and behold if this stuff didn't completely calmed my unhappy digestive system and ease what had, until then, been over a week of constant nausea!! Thank you SO much for your excellent product...I only wish I'd given it a try during my first pregnancy--I'm sure it would have provided me some much needed relief then too.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Dear Customer Relations:
 
The reason I have written this letter is to tell you about why I enjoy your product.  The product I am talking about is, of course, your Virgil’s Root Beer.  It was first introduced to me when I saw it on the shelf of my local grocery store.  I have enjoyed it ever since.
 
After tasting Virgil’s Root Beer for the first time, my taste buds tingled with the sweet all natural treat. The micro brewing of the beverage is a swell idea that helps keep the flavor.  Virgil’s is not the same as the regular root beer, and that is what makes it so delicious with its natural ingredients.  Whenever I go to the store I always ask my parents to get some Virgil’s Root Beer.
 
I have enjoyed Virgil’s Root Beer for many years.  Does the micro-brewing process help the root beer keep its flavor?  Also, how many bottles are filled per micro-brew?  Thank you for your time to read this letter and have an excellent day.
 
Sincerely,
Bryan Organ

Subject: More than a beverage!

To the Reed Ginger Brew Company,

I have recently browsed your web site because of my own curiosities and came across a paragraph describing how recovering alcoholics find your product appealing. After reading that statement, I felt compelled to write and share my own feelings.

I ended my relationship with alcohol about a year and a half ago. I began trying alternative beverages to fill the "void". I eventually found that ginger ales and especially ginger beers were satisfying my unfulfilled cravings for something with "bite".

I began searching for different types of ginger beers, much like I would for an elusive micro-beer. Eventually, I found it. Reed's Extra Ginger Brew. My new "beer". I wish I could truly describe what it means for me to find something during a time when nothing seemed to fit. Thanks for being there.

Sincerely,

R.S.

Dear people of Reed's Ginger Brew company,

I've recently sampled your product, and by recently I mean within the hour. After finishing my drink, I was so impressed with the taste that I've decided to promptly write an email expressing my satisfaction and enjoyment of your product. I have no clue about the brewing process, but whatever Reed's does, it must be doing it right. This was my first time tasting Reed's Ginger Brew, and I intend on making it one of my preferred beverages in the future. Thank you for making such a wonderful product.

Sincerely,

Subject: Organic Extra Extra, Thank You

Dear Chris Reed-

I am writing to tell you that I just LOVE Reeds ginger brews. I'm not generally the kind of person to write fan mail about consumer products, but I really love Reed's. My favorite is the Extra ginger Brew.

I grew up in Michigan waaaaayyy back when Vernors (ginger ale)was still made in a small factory run by a local family in Detroit. Michiganders from the 50's-60's like myself remember that the ONLY thing to drink when not feeling well was Vernors (aged in oak barrels) because it worked. It's flavor came to be associated with "feel good, feel better", that kind of thing. Used to make ice cream floats...aaah, the best!

I believe it was in the mid 60's that Vernors was sold to one of the large corporations and well... you know the rest. Now if you can find Vernors at all, it tastes like all the other sodas on the market- nothing natural whatsoever. I mention this because I think it is relevant that I have been a kind of ginger drinker from a young age. I am sure that there are health benefits to drinking Reed's regularly. Improved digestion to be sure!

I am writing to ask you if you have ever considered making an Organic Extra or Organic Extra Extra ginger beer, for the truly serious drinkers like myself. All of the Reed's brews are great, but knowing that the ginger and other ingredients were organic would make it that much better! If you ever do consider making an organic extra extra ginger beer, I hope to buy as much stock as I can beforehand as I am quite sure it will /would be a hit. Now, Reed's is the ONLY soft drink I drink. Thank you for such a lovely product. Truly wonderful stuff.

Sincerely,

B.B.

Subject: Oh My Dog!

I have been a fan of Reed's products since I discovered Ginger Brew (even a bigger fan once I switched to "Extra") several years ago. I've tried other products since then and have never been disappointed. After trying chocolate ginger ice cream last night, I had to let you know how extraordinarily wonderful I found it. It's now one of my top three ice cream favorites. Any plans to produce a low-fat or low-fat frozen yogurt version? I need to be eating this in large quantities.

Thanks for the delicious treat. I will be certain to tell (and force it on) all my friends.

Subject: Great Product!

I just sampled my first taste of your ginger ice cream. It was heavenly. The flavor was wonderful-with both a ginger tang and the sweetness of the candied ginger, and the palatability , the feel of the ice cream on the mouth was amazing. Like homemade, only with more flavor. I hope to try many more samples over the years. Where is it available in the Detroit area?

Subject: your most exquisite ginger ice cream!

I discovered your unique ginger ice cream two months ago in Oliver's Market. When I eagerly went back to the store for more, there was none. Horrors! I hunted down the ice cream person and requested they order more. When half a dozen pints came in, I bought 5! I left one for another lucky person. The flavor of your ice cream is heavenly. When I find a chunk of ginger, I bite into it and savor the wonderful sweet, pungent flavor. Those must be some contented cows as that cream is to die for. I will be a constant customer so keep that ice cream a-comin'.

Happily yours,

Subject: I'm Addicted

Dear Reeds Folks:

Well, you all have really derailed me. Here I was about to give up on sugar, on chocolate, and then I saw Chocolate Ginger ice cream in the health food supermarket. How could I not buy it, take it home, and eat the entire pint in one sitting (Oh, I have a potential cure for this: sell it in individual serving cups, so I can eat a whole container - it'll just be a little container)? And how could I not keep buying it every week, and tell everyone else - even my poor lactose intolerant pals - about how I'd discovered the most delicious food ever made on planet earth?

Okay. I forgive you. I did want to mention that today's batch presented me with a curious dilemma: while the chocolatey, gingery ice cream itself was sumptuous as always, there was a little something different. It seemed to have very little candied ginger in it. I had to eat the entire pint, of course, to determine just how little ginger candy there was. Just thought you might like to know... the number thingy on the carton is 08274 93393. I guess I'll just have to buy lots more to make sure the rest are okay.

I have big plans for your chocolate ginger ice cream. I think it should become a ubiquitous product, right there on street corners in New York with knishes and Sabrett's hot dogs. It should be our national crepe, the American blintz, the U.S. national steamed red bean bun. I don't ever want to be anywhere without this ice cream again.

So, thanks... I guess. By the way, I need to borrow a few bucks to get some new clothes. I seem to have gone up a dress size since I discovered this stuff.

Sincerely,

L.D.

Subject: ice cream

I stumbled across your chocolate ginger ice cream at Fairway in NY the other evening and now can't wait to get back and buy more. I'm a confirmed ginger addict who keeps the crystalized stuff around as a favorite "pick me up". And I've baked a favorite fresh ginger angel food cake from time to time and sourrounded it with a bittersweet chocolate syrup. Now I can get the ginger and chocolate tastes that I love in your icecream...with organic ingredients too!

I'm looking forward to trying out the other flavors when I find them.

Thank you!

warmest greetings!

i recently tried your ginger icecream, ginger flavor. actually my wife and i have had quite a few pints this past month. why? because this is a heavenly flavor. on a scale of one to ten this is not on the scale. i don't konw where to put this except top deserts of all time on all planets. we try to eat only eat organic foods and were happy to see the dairy has applied for organic certification. we love the texture, the creaminess, ginger candy, flavor and eveything about this icecream.

keep up the good work,

Subject: your awsome icecream!

warmest greetings!

just discovered your ginger ice cream today at earthbeam in burlingame ca.. i bought all the containers the store had in stock!

i first found ginger ice cream years ago in a little thai restaurant in Santa Cruz. it sounded so weird that i just had to try it. have been hooked on ginger ever since. i'd drive down to santa cruz just for the ice cream!! but, alas, the restaurant went out of business.

the closest i've been able to come to ginger nirvana is your reeds ginger brew, which i absolutely love. and now finding your ginger ice cream today.. well i am in ginger heaven.

please please keep on making it!! and i am going to look into buying stock so that i can enjoy the ice cream from "my company".

blessings to all,

Yep, another member of the GingerCult checkin' in with high praise for the Reed's Ice Cream Team.

My hats are off to the Kitchen Magicians who conjured up the most recent gingered additions.

As much as I love both Vanilla and Chocolate Ginger it is the Green Tea Ginger ice cream that I can't quite get enough of. The label is aesthetically soothing. The idea is a wild Aha! The flavor and consistency are off the charts and my Inner Doctor prescribes regular doses!

Thank you Reed's. Here's to a completely organic enterprise and a wholesome New Year.

Subject: ginger/chocolate ice cream

greetings:

there's no shortage of high quality, imaginatively flavored ice creams these days. so it's not easy to make a truly distinguished and unusual product. HOWEVER ... your chocolate/ginger ice cream is without doubt one of the best ice creams i have ever eaten. whoever thought up the flavor combination is an inspired genius.

the chocolate is for real; the ginger pieces are for real! and the stuff has just the right amount of fat to be rich and delicious; some premium ice creams -- godiva, for example -- use too much fat.

hats off to your company! please, do not EVER take this product off the market!

Dear Reeds,
I am writing to thank you for all of your ginger products. i have just today purchased your ginger ice for the first time- i absolutely love it!! I have introduced your ginger brew products to so many of my friends, and with the exception of two (defected tastebuds) everyone loves the ginger brew. One family in Michigan buys it buy the case because there is no local dealer. I have emailed my friends to announce the ginger ice, and given out bites to those close. Once again thank you from me and all of my tastebuds.

Dear Reeds,
I recently discovered Reed's Ginger ice cream, carried at Sun Harvest Farms health food store (owned by Wild Oats), in Austin, TX. What geniuses you are. I like all 3 flavors, vanilla ginger, the green tea ginger, and probably the chocolate best.

When I eat this ice cream, the generous chunks of ginger remind me of my cruise aboard the Queen Elizabeth 2 ship, which has tureens of crystallized ginger for passengers to ward off seasickness. While aboard I faithfully ate the ginger, as I am averse to taking the seasickness shots. So I have fond memories of the cystallized ginger.

So you can imagine my delight at finding your ice cream at Sun Harvest.
In fact, we're out of Reed's ice cream right now, and I plan a trip today to the store to stock up on now.
My partner's favorite is the vanilla-- so I have to make sure to buy some of that in addition to my favorite, the chocolate.

J.G., a really happy consumer
AUSTIN TX

P.S. Your product is so wonderful, I HAD to track you down-- I read the carton to see how to contact you, and found your web address. Many thanks for such a delightful product.

Dear Reed's
This is the best ice-cream I have ever tasted. No doubt about this.
It reminds me strongly of the ginger ice my mother used to make.

Dear Reed's
I was in a natural food store in another city today and discovered your ginger ice cream. Very good!!! Next time I am in that city I will be taking along a cooler and bringing back several cartons to give to a couple of friends to try out. I had tried the 'brews' before and liked them. But this was a great discovery. Thanks for your products and it was nice to read on the label that you are working on organic milk/cream for the ice cream.

Thank you.

Dear Reed's
Just had to tell you ... Your Chocolate Ginger Ice Cream is *Awesome* I'm not even supposed to eat dairy, but I can't resist the occassional indulgence of your yummy ice cream. And if you ever decide to try a soy-based product, I'd be *so* happy (and could more!)
Thanks for the great work!

Dear Reed's
Incredible! Outstanding! Scintillating! I could go on but will spare you the details. Your ginger ice cream is like no other ice cream ever! It even replaces chocolate/hazelnut, which was my favorite before finding Reed's ginger ice cream. Of course, I always check to see if a dairy used BGH and seeing that they have applied for organic status makes it clear that they don't. Thanks for the superb product and the great drinks too.

It's about time someone made ginger ice cream. I have tried both the ginger and the green tea ginger and liked them very much. I particularly appreciate your concern about buying from an about-to-be organic dairy and about using natural ingredients. Thank you and best wishes.

Dear Reed's
Hi,
I purchased a pint of your ginger ice cream for the first time a few weeks ago...and then I purchased another a few days later...and another soon after that. You see, I LOVE ginger ice cream, and up until my discovery of yours in a local Andronico's market, I had to travel down to a crazy little ice cream parlor in Santa Cruz, CA called Marianne's. They have amazing ginger ice cream. But yours is perhaps even better. My friends and I have been making fruit tarts with the peaches and plums from our yard, and your ginger ice cream is the perfect accompaniment.
Thank you for making this ice cream. I keep asking myself why it took me so long to discover it.
There's only one thing I would suggest to improve your product: unbleached paper cartons.
Once again, thank you! You've got a die hard fan on your hands. I take ginger very seriously!

J.R.
Berkeley, CA
PS: I also love your brews.

Dear Reed's
I just tasted your ginger ice cream for the first time today and WOW! It has been an extremely hot day today and this was the perfect treat to beat the heat.
I will ask my food coop to start carrying the other ginger ice cream flavors (chocolate,green tea). I look forward to tasting those as well.
I also appreciate the simple list of ingredients (no preserve/chemicals) and your commitment to organic dairy farms!

Sincerely & Gingerly, A.L.

Subject: Mo' Praise

Your green tea ginger ice cream is out of this world - I've been a B&J's devotee since they operated out of an old gas station on Church Street in Burlington, and I worked as a kid at Farrell's in San Diego, so I've been around the block with ice creams and can honestly say Reeds' is the best ever. Hasten me your stock info as I have requested. (And please can you bring your ice creams to Von's in La Costa, CA - I have to drive too far to get it!)

We hope you love our products as much as we love making them!
