Gallon jug of water, 3 or 4 good sized roots, cup of honey.

Thanks Simon. I've had a hankering to make this, but haven't found a satisfying recipe.

Simon knows everything - and I'm not being sarcastic.
Thanks for the recipe ..... after combining said ingredients what do we do (I have never had ginger beer and wouldn't know when it's done .... or how long to let it brew).

Thanks Simon... I'm not making anything but trouble.... I'm on Vacation. So I'll take the answer to my question as a big "NO". One cannot BUY Ginger Beer in San Pedro... case closed !!!
I can live with that.

Believe me I do not know everything, if I did I wouldn't be busting my butt for a living.

I just refrigerate after letting it cool down to room temperature which means it's more Ginger Juice than Ginger Beer but if you look up recipes on the internet there are various methods of fermenting out there (or just adding soda water).

You can buy Ginger Beer in San Pedro, it's just that it's crap. I was used to getting real Jamaican Ginger Beer in Canada. Comparing what we get here to that is like comparing Budweiser to beer.

PedalPusher, I have some Jamaican Ginger Beer in the fridge and I'm coming to SP on the 30th. I could probably pack you a couple of bottles and bring 'em if you're interested.

I'm not sure what the difference between ginger beer and ginger ale is but Martinez' (the breakfast and lunch counter next to the Sea & Land meat shop) on Caye Caulker sells a very strong and spicy ginger brew that they call ginger ale. It's cloudy, not clear. I love it but it's too strong for some.

Noele - yes, that's the place I was thinking of. Very ... VERY strong / gingery, but WOW!

Hey guys... thanks. There's such a large caribbean community here in Toronto, it's hard not to find Ginger Beer. Please don't bring anything for me. It's such a caribbean drink... hard to believe no stocks it to mix with rum in the bars... no biggie. See ya Friday.

Jambel Jerk made their own Ginger Beer. Great fish curry too. They were across the street from the airport. Are they still there?
