Every Friday I bring you a food related post.
So, what is Ginger Beer? The best way to describe it is “Ginger Ale with a kick”. It is non-alcoholic (most of the time) and basically is more ginger than soda unlike Ginger Ale.
Ginger Beer to me is better than it’s counterpart, Ginger Ale for a couple of reasons. Number one, the ginger flavor is much stronger which I like. There are plenty of sodas out there which are simply sugar with a touch of flavoring, but when it comes to things like ginger beer (or root beer for that matter) I want the primary taste to be ginger (or sarsaparilla in the case of root beer) not sugar.
Number two is the fact that Ginger, for many people (including myself) helps settle your stomach if you are nocuous; i.e. if you are sick, ginger beer is far more likely to help you than ginger ale (in my opinion)
Although I am a teetotaler, I realize not all my readers are: So here are some great articles by CocktailNerd comparing the various Ginger Beers out there.
Enjoy a nice glass of Ginger Beer, Cheers!
