Didn't expect to love Ginger Beer this much

I picked up Ginger Beer reluctantly — my doctor suggested it and I was sceptical. Prepared traditionally the first time I thought it was fine but nothing special. By the second week I was actively looking forward to it.

The calm alertness is real. The freshness of the base ingredient surprised me — there's more going on in a well-prepared Ginger Beer than it appears. I now genuinely enjoy it rather than just tolerating it, which is better than I expected when I started.
