Digby's 'Weak Honey Drink' (Small Mead) is in Cariadoc's _Miscellany_ 
(http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/cariadoc/drinks.html#1 
<http://www.pbm.com/%7Elindahl/cariadoc/drinks.html#1>  ) is very like 
ginger beer- more so if you increase the ginger in the recipe. Give it a 
try! It comes out at about 3% alcohol, is very light and refreshing.
