Drinking ginger beer

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I would like to know if ginger beer made from sugar, ginger, yeast, lemon juice and water is halaal. The drink itself isn’t for intoxication and it doesn’t intoxicate. Is it halaal?

Bismillaah

A: Yes, it is halaal.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
