Local Republic does a lot of unique things. One is their homemade ginger beer, which Jerad Henry, bar manager, has graciously shared with us.

Homemade ginger beer: Bring 3 cups of water & 1/4 cup of sugar to a boil and remove from heat. Add 1 cup of peeled, finely-minced ginger and stir. Cover and let steep for 1 hour.
