Sometimes you just don't know what to drink, whether alcohol at a certain age is no longer a good option, whether a fresh water is no longer enough to quench your thirst, or whether a soda contains too much sugar and is harmful to the body. Well, Ginger Birra knows this, and that's why today we tell you about their incredible product: ginger beer, although technically it is not a beer nor does it contain alcohol.Víctor Manuel Quintero is a biologist graduated from the Universidad de los Andes Venezuela who, for circumstantial reasons, first drank ginger beer thanks to a friend in 2015. Its flavor stayed with him so much that he decided to create his own recipe and improve it little by little. Later, he met Mayra Gómez, a graphic designer and his current wife, with whom he finally created Ginger Birra, which, almost 4 years after its creation, is now distributed in 10 different cities.Ginger beer has more than 300 years of history; its origin is attributed to 18th century England. It was a drink that remained secret for many years until the army began to export it.By following the processes of perfect craft beer, Ginger Birra has managed to achieve a spectacular flavor, preserving the freshness and life of ginger (6.3%), lemon, and wild yeasts thanks to the use of 100% natural products and a traditional fermentation and carbonation process.Benefits of ginger beerSince its base is an infusion of ginger root, it is very healthy, as it aids digestion and inflammation, relieves sore throat, is a great ally for cardiovascular health, is probiotic and prebiotic, and is 100% gluten-free; making it an ideal drink not only for those with celiac disease, but also for vegans and those looking to avoid alcohol consumption.Its flavor is spicy but not overwhelmingly so, and combined with the citrus of lemon, it achieves a perfectly tropical combination.
