STORYTIME
After brewing beer for many years, we wanted to offer a non-alcoholic beverage to our guests, so we made a ginger beer recipe to serve on tap from kegs. We realized that we needed to adapt the recipe for home use, so we developed this recipe.
SHOUTOUT
A special thanks goes out to Arcana Brewing Company for inspiring us to dig up this recipe. You can find a version of this at their taproom in Carlsbad, CA. If you're in town, pay them a visit!
