Bundaberg Ginger Beer

Bundaberg leans on real, three-day-brewed Queensland ginger, and you taste it: a rooty, earthy warmth that builds into a genuine peppery tingle on the finish rather than the flat sweetness of mass-market ginger ale. It runs decidedly sweet on a cane-sugar base, which rounds off the burn and keeps the spice approachable, while a faint lemon-citrus lift and brisk carbonation brighten the body. Sitting in the accessible middle of the craft ginger-beer field, it is more aromatic and heat-forward than soda-aisle ginger ale but tamer than the brutally dry, scorching artisanal brews. A reliable everyday benchmark for the category and a natural for a Moscow Mule.
