Answers:
Ginger Beer is made to be drunk on its own as a sweet drink albeit rather "hot" - but that's what ginger IS ! whereas Ginger Ale is made as a mixer - mainly for use with whiskey and is consequently not so sweet - hence trade names like "Canada Dry"!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Ginger beer is usually made with plain water, ginger ale with carbonated water!. Other than that the formulas are similar!.The more ginger, the more bitter the taste!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Ginger beer is more spicy (and sweet) ginger ale is more mellow and clearer!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I know that there is more ginger in ginger beer!. It has a better bite to it!. Other than that I believe they are the same!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
