Yes, That is why it is also called Ginger Beer and Root Beer is also called Wintergreen Ale
To be clear, the drinks labeled ginger beer in every store i’ve been to is VERY different from the one labeled ginger ale
But is it more different than many types of beers and ales that are alcoholic?
Interesting. This goes deeper than I thought. I need to get to the root of this conspiracy
Supposedly if you close your eyes you can’t differentiate the flavor of root beer from mint.
I might have to test this. I’m glad I decided to post this stupid shit lol, I’m learning so much
Oooooohhhhhhh!!!
THAT’S why so many people say that root beer tastes like toothpaste!
People say that? Also wtf, I never knew there was some kind of mint involved!
Yes, and this is especially true from people coming from outside of North America.

As my junior officer Ensign_Crab pointed out, Ginger is a rhizome, not a root, but both started out as low ABV brewed beverages flavored with spices (ginger and sarsaparilla or sassafras respectively) that with the invention of the soda fountain transformed into soft drinks made by mixing flavored syrups with carbonated water.
