Ginger is a spice that has become an integral part of the cuisine of many countries. In Asia the root is used for curries, soups and stir-fries, in Hawaii it refines poke bowls and in this country it is used to season pumpkin soup, make lemonade from it or process the ginger into a shot that is full of vitamins and nutrients. The plant is characterized by its strong spiciness, which is thanks to gingerol. Equipped with a citrus-fresh aroma and a whole range of effective substances such as vitamin C and iron, ginger is a real miracle cure.
Of course, brewers have already discovered the exciting tuber for themselves: Homemade ginger beer has been around for centuries and the professionals behind the kettles have also developed an interest in ginger. Its fine spiciness and refreshing citrus note are excellent in modern brews.
One of our favorites is the Ginger Ninja from Ale-Mania. The Bonn brewery has brewed a beer inspired by Belgian Blonde and flavored it with freshly grated orange peel, coriander and a generous portion of ginger. The result is a spicy brew with sonorous hop notes, juicy fruitiness, green herbal elements and the liveliness and spiciness of ginger. Anyone who likes ginger will love this creation!
