Ginger Beer: A Drink Worth Rediscovering.
Long before it became a favourite in today's pubs of London and loved across Australia, Ginger Beer was first created in England during the 18th century. Brewed using fresh ginger, sugar and water via a natural fermentation process, it quickly became popular for its refreshing taste and distinctive spicy kick.
Despite its name, Ginger Beer isn't simply beer with ginger added. Traditionally, it is fermented from ginger itself, creating a unique drink that sits somewhere between a craft beer, cider, and cocktail. The result is a bold, refreshing beverage with a lively ginger bite and a crisp finish.
What many people don't realise is that Ginger Beer was originally alcoholic. For centuries, fermentation was an essential part of how it was made. As large soft drink manufacturers emerged, the category gradually shifted towards non-alcoholic versions that were easier to produce, distribute, and sell. While these soft drinks introduced ginger beer to millions of people, they also meant that many never experienced the authentic alcoholic ginger beer that started it all.
Today, alcoholic Ginger Beer has made a remarkable comeback. It has become a staple across the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and parts of North America, where drinkers are increasingly seeking craft beverages, natural ingredients, and alternatives to traditional lagers. It appeals to beer lovers, cocktail enthusiasts, and anyone looking for something refreshingly different.
