Ginger is a popular spice used in distilling for its distinct flavor and potential health benefits. It can be used in various forms, from fresh root to powder, and is often steam-distilled to extract its volatile oils. Ginger can be added to spirits like gin and vodka, or used to create liqueurs and other flavored products. 

Ginger can also be added to other beer styles, such as wild ales or spice beers, to provide a unique flavor dimension.
