Ginger Beer

A spicy, naturally brewed carbonated beverage made from fermented ginger, water, sugar, and yeast, with bold, authentic ginger heat. Much more intensely spicy than ginger ale, ginger beer is essential in the Moscow Mule and Dark and Stormy, providing the signature fiery ginger kick.

Flavor Profile

Spicy, pungent ginger nose with bold effervescence and capsaicin-like heat. Palate is assertively gingery with bracing spice and dry sweetness. Long, fiery finish with persistent ginger warmth.
