Lets talk Ginger beer.

Why is is called beer in the first place? Will see that later.

I just find it very interesting that since growing up, people still think the right to make ginger beer is during Christmas time. Is there any significance? This is one aspect that I will have to explore. Just asking one of my colleagues when do they normally make ginger beer? Her answer is simple and expected, during summer holidays.

Here is the my colleague's recipe for ginger beer.
