Ginger beer is often associated as carbonated soft drink that is flavored primarily with ginger, lemon, and sugar. It originated in England in the mid-1700s and reached its peak of popularity in the early 1900s. The original recipe requires only ginger, sugar, and water, to which is added a gelatinous substance called “ginger beer plant” . Fermentation over a few days turns the mixture into ginger beer. Lemon may be added. Ginger beer is similar to ginger ale except that it has a significantly stronger ginger taste, often being described as ginger ale with a kick to it. Its other distinctive properties include its traditional cloudy appearance, its predominantly citrus sour taste base and its spicy ginger bite.
Ginger beer was first produced as an alcoholic beverage in the 1700s. It became very popular in Britain and North America. Today, it is almost always produced as a soft drink. It was brought to the Ionian Islands by the British Army in the 19th century, and is still made by villagers in rural Corfu as a local specialty.Today in Eastern Africa ,especially in Kenya and Tanzania. ginger beer is a very popular drink. It is called tangawizi, which is the Swahili word for ginger and “Stoney Tangawizi” is a product of the Coca-Cola Company.
