Ginger Beer vs. Ginger Ale: The Pointless Perfection
by Ryan Chaif on Jul 18, 2024
When it comes to ginger-infused beverages, the age-old debate of ginger beer vs. ginger ale can spark some spirited discussions. Here at Pointless, we decided to take the best of both worlds and create something truly exceptional. Our Pointless Ginger Ale is a non-fermented, bold, and spicy concoction that breaks the mold. Let’s dive into how we’ve blended the two styles into a unique, zero-alcohol, low-sugar masterpiece.
The Classic Showdown: Ginger Beer vs. Ginger Ale
Ginger beer and ginger ale have long been the frontrunners in the ginger beverage game, each with its own distinct characteristics.
Ginger beer is known for its fermentation process, which gives it a robust, spicy kick. It’s the go-to choice for those who crave a bolder ginger flavor, often used in cocktails like the Moscow Mule and Dark ‘n’ Stormy. However, this fermentation also means it can carry a small amount of alcohol and a hefty dose of sugar.
Ginger ale, on the other hand, is typically lighter and sweeter, making it a refreshing mixer that doesn't overpower the other ingredients in a drink. Most commercial ginger ales lean towards the sugary side, which can make them less appealing to health-conscious consumers.
The Pointless Innovation
At Pointless, we saw an opportunity to create something that combined the best aspects of both beverages: the bold spiciness of ginger beer and the smooth, refreshing qualities of ginger ale, all without the drawbacks of fermentation, alcohol, or high sugar content.
Our Pointless Ginger Ale is crafted with real, cold-pressed ginger and natural juices. We’ve perfected a method to bring out the rich, spicy flavor of ginger without the need for fermentation. This means you get all the boldness you love from ginger beer, but with zero alcohol. And with only 6g of sugar per can, Pointless Ginger Ale is a guilt-free pleasure that fits seamlessly into a health-conscious lifestyle.
Bold and Spicy, Yet Smooth and Refreshing
We wanted our ginger ale to be more than just a mixer – we wanted it to be an experience. By blending the spiciness of ginger beer with the refreshing nature of ginger ale, Pointless Ginger Ale stands out in the market. Our beverage is perfect on its own or as a sophisticated mixer for your favorite cocktails.
Each of our four flavors – Original, Lime, Blueberry, and Cranberry – is carefully crafted to highlight the robust ginger flavor while offering a unique twist. Whether you’re enjoying a chilled can after a workout or mixing up a Pointless Mule for a night in, our ginger ale delivers a consistent, bold, and refreshing taste.
Why Non-Fermented Matters
Non-fermented means no alcohol and no hidden surprises. You can enjoy the full depth of ginger flavor without worrying about the effects of fermentation. This makes Pointless Ginger Ale a perfect choice for everyone, from designated drivers to those simply looking to cut down on alcohol.
Plus, without the fermentation process, we’re able to control the sugar content more effectively. Most ginger beers and ales can’t compete with our low sugar levels, making Pointless Ginger Ale a standout choice for those mindful of their sugar intake.
The Pointless Promise
At Pointless, we believe in offering beverages that are both indulgent and health-conscious. Our ginger ale isn’t just another drink on the shelf; it’s a carefully crafted experience designed for adults who appreciate the finer things in life without compromising their health goals.
