Ginger Beer - Our Star

Ginger beer has a rich history and some intriguing facts surrounding its origins and cultural significance:

1. Not Actually Beer: Despite its name, ginger beer is not alcoholic like traditional beer. Historically, it was brewed and fermented, giving it a slight alcoholic content, but modern versions are usually non-alcoholic.
2. Origins in England: Ginger beer originated in England in the 18th century. It was initially created by fermenting ginger, sugar, and water, resulting in a fizzy, spicy beverage.
3. Moscow Mule Connection: Ginger beer is a key ingredient in the Moscow Mule cocktail, which was invented in the United States in the 1940s. The combination of vodka, ginger beer, and lime juice served over ice in a copper mug has become iconic.
4. Health Benefits: Ginger, the primary ingredient in ginger beer, is known for its potential health benefits. It has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and may help alleviate nausea, aid digestion, and reduce muscle pain.

Barista Tips

• For the best brew, start with filtered water to avoid equipment buildup and funky flavors.
• When it comes to cold brew ratios, aim for a range between 1:6 and 1:10.
• Adjust your grind coarser as brewing time increases-especially for cold brew, where a coarser grind than for a French press is essential to prevent over-extraction.
• For optimal flavor, grind your coffee just before brewing; if using a Comandante grinder, set it to 35-40 clicks (70-80 red clicks).
