About Ginger Beer Australia
We're a team of passionate ginger beer enthusiasts on a mission to help Australians discover their perfect brew.
Our Story
Ginger Beer Australia started in 2024 with a simple question: why is it so hard to find reliable information about ginger beer in Australia? As lifelong fans of this uniquely spiced beverage, we found ourselves frustrated by the lack of comprehensive guides, honest comparisons, and expert insights available online.
What began as a personal project to document our own ginger beer tastings quickly grew into something much larger. We realised that thousands of Australians share our passion for finding the perfect ginger beer, whether they're seeking a craft brew with serious ginger heat, a smooth mixer for their evening Moscow Mule, or a sugar-free option that doesn't compromise on flavour.
Our team brings together decades of combined experience in beverage appreciation, food science, and consumer research. We've visited breweries across Queensland, Victoria, and New South Wales, spoken with master brewers about fermentation techniques and ginger sourcing, and conducted blind taste tests with panels of everyday consumers to understand what Australians really want from their ginger beer.
What We Do
At Ginger Beer Australia, we take our testing process seriously. Every product featured on our site has been personally sampled by at least three members of our team. We evaluate ginger beers across multiple criteria, including ginger intensity, sweetness balance, carbonation levels, ingredient quality, and overall drinkability. We also consider value for money and availability across Australian retailers.
Beyond product reviews, we're committed to education. Our comprehensive guides cover everything from the history of ginger beer brewing to proper storage techniques, cocktail recipes, and food pairing suggestions. We believe that understanding the craft behind your favourite beverage enhances your appreciation of every sip.
Our Commitment to You
We pride ourselves on providing honest, unbiased information. While we do earn a small commission when you purchase products through our Amazon affiliate links, this never influences our reviews or recommendations. We've declined partnerships with brands that didn't meet our quality standards, and we always disclose our affiliate relationships transparently.
Our goal is simple: to be the most trusted resource for ginger beer enthusiasts in Australia. Whether you're a newcomer exploring your first craft ginger beer or a seasoned connoisseur seeking rare imports, we're here to guide your journey.
