Don’t be fooled, ginger ale and ginger beer are completely different beasts. Ginger ale is just carbonated water that’s been flavored with ginger, while ginger beer is made by the natural fermentation of fresh ginger spice, yeast and sugar. Ginger beer is used often as a non-alcoholic mixer for drinks like a Moscow Mule or Dark ‘n’ Stormy, but the breweries below have gone the extra mile to make ginger beer a spicy boozy libation that you’ll want to drink straight.
