Looks like I'm not the only ginger beer aficionado here then. It's the only beer I can drink now, 2 years ago I got very sick and had a liver infection, now anytime I drink alcohol I get a bit of an uneasy feeling (not due to the amount I might add).
The Last road trip we went on I found my esky wedge nicely in between the front seats of my car, had it full of BB ginger beer a few sarsaparilla's and some cascade ginger beer to mix it up a little, was good fun.
I remember back in high school we made ginger beer as part of science, when we tested it we found it to be a little over 5%, and consequently got tipped down the drain as you can't supply alcohol to minors. I think I remember you can add cream of tartar which I believe makes the PH level a bit lower, just to save your tonsils a little.
