It has also been a booming category for drinks delivery service Jimmy Brings, with ginger beer sales increasing by 27% in the last quarter of 2022.

A “rock’n’roll take” on the classic ginger beer, the Young Henrys Ginger Beer is described by the brewer as a “blend of citrus-y lime sweetness that playfully lingers in your mouth after each sip”.

It sits at 4% ABV and exudes colourful floral hints, peppered with earthy undertones and a bright, zesty finish.

“We wanted to create a product that was well balanced, and I think we’ve absolutely smashed that out of the park,” said Jesse Searls, Young Henrys Head Brewer.

“Young Henrys Ginger Beer is really incredible. It’s got a nice sweetness upfront, with a dry and bitey finish. The spice really accumulates after a few sips. Already a big staff favourite, we hope everyone enjoys it as much as we do!”
