I would say that if you like ginger, it’s quite plausible that you would enjoy the taste of ginger beer, and rum makes everything better.

Ginger beer tastes nothing like beer. It is fizzy, and quite spicy. I enjoy it quite a lot. The Jamaican ginger beer is my favorite.

I dislike bitter taste too, ergo, no coffee. I didn’t find ginger beer at all bitter, but it was too zinging ginger for my taste. I like ginger, but not fizzing up into my sinuses. (my individual reaction.) Try it.

Ginger beer is very spicy but it’s not much like ordinary beer. It’s a lot sweeter. If you like ginger in cakes, cookies etc, you’ll probably like ginger beer.

Well I love beer, but I really don’t like ginger beer or ginger tea. By that logic I’m guessing you’ll love it.

Yeah Dark and Stormy! One of my favorite cocktails. Dark rum with ginger beer. I bet you’ll like it!

I also recently discovered a “Black and Pear,” half Guinness and half pear cider. Bars have other combinations of stouts and ciders, which are great to order for those of us beer-haters who want to have a beer-like beverage in hand. The cider really trumps the beer flavor and it makes for a pleasant, sweet drink.
