Ginger Beer

While ginger ale is prevalent and available in any market, why is ginger beer so difficult to find and when you do, it very expensive?

We love ginger beer and yes, it is hard to find and usually pretty pricey. Guess the American palette doesn't appreciate it although I would suggest it is easier to find in some regions than others.

Are you talking about a ginger beer with alcohol or without? There's a non-alcoholic one called Reed's that's a little pricey but not that much compared to other specialty beers. http://reedsinc.com/product/reeds-extra-ginger-brew/

I have a few old stoneware ginger beer bottles kicking around but I don't believe I have ever tasted real ginger beer.

Wegman's has a brand in some stores called Crabbies and I've seen it in Walmart.

Maybe it's time for me to give it a try!

Without - like ginger ale - a soft drink.

I agree with BlondieBoomer that Reed's is an excellent ginger beer. Even in my small town I can get it at the local food store.
