Beer

Ginger Beer like Ginger Ale is a carbonated non-alcoholic beverage that is produced by the natural fermentation of prepared ginger spice, yeast and sugar. Ginger Beer has a stronger flavour and often uses real ginger while Ginger Ale uses ginger syrup.

Ginger beer started with spice trade with the orient and probably was an Oriental import since ginger fermented beer has been in use as medicine in China and India since 500 BC.

Ginger Beer is regulated to 2% alcohol if any alcohol is present at all.

Mexico has a long history of beer going back to the Mesoamerican cultures who knew of fermented alcoholic beverages. Including corn beer, long before the Spaniards brought distillation with them.
European beer brewed with barley was introduced by the Spaniards after Hernan Cortes’s arrival. But beer production was strictly regulated with prohibitions and taxes by Spanish rulers and it was only after the Mexican War of Independence that breweries flourished again, and this was boosted by the arrival of German immigrants provided the impetus to the opening of many breweries across the country.
Mexican beer is distinctive for its lager like properties, light bodies and has a mild taste, Mexican beers are usually sold in 325 ml bottles. Corona is the most renowned Mexican beer sold all over the world.

Irish Whiskey

Irish Whiskey or Uisce Beatha ( same as French Eau de vie or Water of Life ) was the most popular spirit of the world once,
Irish Whiskey was one of the earliest distilled drinks in Europe, it is believed that the Irish Monks brought the technique of perfume distillation back to Ireland from Southern France and modified that to distill drinkable alcohol. The early Irish Whiskey was not what it is today and it was more a distilled whiskey infused with herbs such as thyme, anise or mint.

Irish Mist is a whiskey liqueur created using one such original recipe, but by current standards, although it is created just like early Irish Whisky was made with herbal infusions, it'll be categorised as a liqueur.

Although it seems like Whiskey has been produced in Ireland since 1000 CE but the first written record of it can be found from 1405 in the Annals of Clonmacnoise, that is a good 89 years before Scotland.

Irish Whiskey has a smoother finish as opposed to the smoky, earthy overtones of a Scotch. The smoky overtones in Scoth comes from drying the malted barley using peat smoke, but peat is rarely used in the malting process in Ireland, leaving a few like Connemara peated Irish malt whiskey and Pearse Whiskey.
