It seems to be a soda like ginger ale only stronger.
"Ginger beer is a type of carbonated beverage, flavored primarily with ginger, lemon and sugar. It originated in England in the mid 1700s, and it reached its peak of popularity in the early 1900s. The original recipe requires only ginger, sugar, and water, to which is added a gelatinous substance called "ginger beer plant". Fermentation over a few days turns the mixture into ginger beer. Lemon may be added.
The beverage produced industrially today is often not brewed (fermented). Such ginger beer is carbonated with pressurized carbon dioxide, and does not contain alcohol. Ginger beer is similar to ginger ale except that it is more strongly flavored. In addition, it may be cloudy, while ginger ale is clear."

Yeah, I had some last summer. I have to say, at the end of the drink it was okay, but I definitely think it's an acquired taste.
