From
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginger_beer

"usually non-alcoholic"

I think, traditionally, it'd be that ginger beer is fermented, thus creating its own bubbles, and ginger ale adds the carbon dioxide directly.

But evidently even _that_ isn't true, with current ginger beers being manufactured rather than brewed, which makes me question why they aren't just strong ginger ales.

And, I guess if you're going for, "and there's any alcohol in it at all", then any brewed ginger beer _should_ have alcohol; just not enough to qualify as an "alcoholic beverage", at least in the US.

But I imagine that regulations vary.
