When you think of ginger ale you probably think of a pretty watered
down soda used to soothe a stomachache or mix with drinks. But,
what comes to mind when you think of ginger beer? Is it actually a
beer? Is it gluten-free? What cocktails is it used for? We've broken

Ginger beer dates back to Britain's Eastern spice trade and colonial
presence in the Caribbean. The first form of the drink originated in
Yorkshire, England in the mid-1700s, when sugar, ginger, water, and a
culture known as ginger beer plant were fermented together over
several days, creating an alcoholic version of the drink when the sugar
converted to alcohol. The alcohol content was much higher, tallying in
at 11% as reported by Huffington Post, back in the day.

Ginger beer and ginger ale really don't have that big of a difference
between the two of them. Aside from one being a little more cloudy
than the other, it all really boils down to the kind of taste you're
looking for. If you want something a little on the sweeter side, ginger
ale is your best bet. If you're looking for more ginger in your
beverage, ginger beer is the way to go.
