Yes, That is why it is also called Ginger Beer and Root Beer is also called Wintergreen Ale
Showerthoughts
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
To be clear, the drinks labeled ginger beer in every store i've been to is VERY different from the one labeled ginger ale
But is it more different than many types of beers and ales that are alcoholic?
Interesting. This goes deeper than I thought. I need to get to the root of this conspiracy
Supposedly if you close your eyes you can't differentiate the flavor of root beer from mint.
I might have to test this. I'm glad I decided to post this stupid shit lol, I'm learning so much
Oooooohhhhhhh!!!!
THAT'S why so many people say that root beer tastes like toothpaste!
I think the genuine answer is "no but they are closely related."
As my junior officer Ensign_Crab pointed out, Ginger is a rhizome, not a root, but both started out as low ABV brewed beverages flavored with spices (ginger and sarsaparilla or sassafras respectively) that with the invention of the soda fountain transformed into soft drinks made by mixing flavored syrups with carbonated water.
No, it's an ale! 🤣
(I'll see myself out)
Ginger is a rhisome.
Ginger is a rhizome
Ginger is a rhizome and I can't spell.
