Tonks again:

A number of years ago I went to England and they had a drink there, 
rather good too, that was called Ginger Beer. It was not alcholic 
and was like our Ginger Ale (Ale=Beer) only better. I don't like 
Ginger Ale, but was trying to get as much Ginger Beer as I could 
before I went home. 

Move over Winky.
