Zingibeer is the drink of summer ’22: Here’s where you can find one in Cork

The weather’s been a bit iffy.
But on those occasions when the sun does poke through the clouds for a hot second, it’s a game of musical chairs to nab the best seats in the sun for an al fresco pint in town.
And if you’ve been lucky enough to be basking in Vitamin D at Impala, you may have spotted folks sipping large glasses of a mysterious clear liquid outside the Liberty Street bar.
That refreshing alcoholic beverage is Zingibeer, a rather delicious Irish 4% ginger beer made from all-natural ingredients and without the use of sulphites or other preservatives.

Zingibeer is owned and operated by father and daughter Kevin and Rachel Byrne, who came up with the recipe during the pandemic.
“We are not beer flavored with ginger, but rather fermented ginger with a twist of lemon zest and a hint of botanicals resulting in a truly zingy, refreshing and revolutionary ginger beer,” they explain.
As well as being extremely tasty, it ticks a range of other boxes; it’s gluten-free and vegan friendly too.
With any luck, we’ll get the weather for a few this weekend.
