There’s ginger beer, and then there’s authentic ginger beer with a real sense of character.
For us, creating a great ginger beer isn’t simply about adding ginger flavour to a sparkling drink. It’s about using the real thing, treating it with care and refining the process until the natural heat, depth and complexity of the ginger can shine through.
That approach has helped make Luscombe Hot Ginger Beer stand out, and even earned a spot on BBC One’s Saturday Kitchen in 2026.
It starts with real organic ginger
The foundation of our ginger beers are whole roots of fiery organic Peruvian ginger (in our opinion, this is simply the best tasting ginger the world has to offer). It is combined with organic Sicilian lemon and sparkling Dartmoor spring water to create a drink that balances heat, citrus and freshness.
That choice of ingredients matters.
Rather than relying on artificial flavourings, syrups or synthetic additives, our organic ginger beers are made with natural ingredients and no artificial additives, preservatives or synthetic flavours.
The result is a ginger beer where the ginger itself is allowed to take centre stage.
The secret is in the milling
This is one of the things that really sets our ginger beers apart.
We don’t simply buy a ginger flavour or concentrate and add it to our drinks. We mill our own ginger because we want to have full control over it's natural flavour from the moment the root arrives with us.
After more than 25 years of making these products on our farm here in Devon, we’ve learned a lot about how to get the very best taste from our organic Peruvian ginger. Milling it ourselves allows us to refine the process and extract as much of its natural flavour and heat as possible.
And we don’t stop after the first milling.
When we first mill the ginger, we extract around 70% of its fiery flavour. We then blend the remaining ginger pulp another two or three times to extract even more. Depending on the amount of heat we are trying to achieve. It means we get more of the goodness from the ginger while reducing waste at the same time.
It’s a process we’ve developed through experience, and it’s one we’re proud of.
We like our ginger beer fiery
There’s no point making ginger beer if you can’t taste the ginger. Lots of products have flooded the soft drinks market in recent years, with artificial heat generated by using spices! For us, this simply isn't the right way to go about it.
Our Hot Ginger Beer delivers a natural heat, delivered only through ginger. It's deliberately fiery. We want that warming kick from the root ginger, rather than a drink that simply tastes sweet with a hint of ginger in the background and overwhelming spice.
Our milling process helps us get as much of that natural heat from the ginger as possible, giving our Hot Ginger Beer its distinctive, authentic character.
Who are Luscombe Ginger Beer drinks for?
So, who are our ginger beer drinks for? Quite simply, anyone who loves the taste of real ginger and wants more from a soft drink.
Our ginger beers are a great choice if you’re looking for a sophisticated alternative, whether you’re choosing not to drink or simply want something delicious to enjoy alongside a meal. They’re also made for those who believe a ginger beer should actually taste of ginger. Our Hot Ginger Beer delivers a proper fiery kick, thanks to the whole roots of organic Peruvian ginger we mill ourselves, on our farm here in Devon.
