Ginger beer is fermented. Ginger ale is not.

Now, the ginger beer recipe I found uses ginger (skin on), sugar, water and a fresh squeezed lemon. That's it. However, it is fermented both before bottling and after. The longer it stays in the bottle, the more carbonated it becomes. They say it is non-alcoholic but... there is something about the skin of the ginger root that activates a 'bug' that eats the sugar.

I don't know what brewers of ginger beer use but from what I've found online, many home brewers use yeast.

Okay, so from a quick survey of stuff out there it seems the ginger beer bottled commercially is made with carbonated water and does not contain any alcohol whereas home-brewed ginger beer produces alcohol.

So, don't make this at home!

This is one commercial brand we DEFINITELY need to be careful about, regardless of what the bottle may say. It too is a commercial brand ginger beer but you'll note it is made with yeast which suggests alcohol... and I found a fatwa on it from Australia (also below):

Question:

Is Bundaberg Ginger Beer halal? It is made by brewing and fermentation process and contains 0.2% alcohol.

Answer:

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيْم

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

It is not permissible to drink Bundaberg Ginger Beer.

قلت: هذا ليس لمعنى في نفسه بل لمعنى في غيره

And Allah Ta'ala knows best

Recap on ginger-beer:

not all commercial brand ginger-beer is halaal, some contain alcohol - be careful which one you choose; and
do not brew this at home - even if you don't use yeast, you'll end up with an alcoholic beverage during fermentation!

The Ginger Drink and the Drink of Salsabil
Allah says,

﴿وَيُسْقَوْنَ فِيهَا كَأْساً كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا زَنجَبِيلاً ﴾

(And they will be given to drink there of a cup mixed with Zanjabil (ginger),) meaning, they -- the righteous -- will also be given a drink from these cups.

﴿كَأْساً﴾

(a cup) meaning, a drink of wine.

﴿كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا زَنجَبِيلاً﴾

(mixed with Zanjabil (ginger),) So on one occasion they will be given a drink that is mixed with camphor, and it is cool. Then on another occasion they will be given a drink mixed with ginger, and it is hot. This is so that their affair will be balanced. However, those who are nearest to Allah, they will drink from all of it however they wish, as Qatadah and others have said. The statement of Allah has already preceded which says,

﴿عَيْناً يَشْرَبُ بِهَا عِبَادُ اللَّهِ﴾

(A spring wherefrom the servants of Allah will drink.) (76:6) And here Allah says,

﴿عَيْناً فِيهَا تُسَمَّى سَلْسَبِيلاً ﴾

(A spring there, called Salsabil.) `Ikrimah said, "It (Salsabil) is the name of a spring in Paradise.'' Mujahid said, "It is called this due to its continuous flowing and the severity of its current.''
