What am I brewing? Mule Juice

It's been quite a while since I posted. I haven't brewed much beer lately. Maybe one batch in the last year. I did make some home made blueberry wine from berries we picked locally. It was really good, much more dry than I would have expected and quite drinkable. The wine process was easier to do than the hard cider seeing that there was no "rhino fart" stage in the fermenting. When making cider apparently there's a common stage you hit where the smell is incredibly strong, something I didn't read about before starting the batch. We came home thinking there was a dead animal or something in the house. It stunk up both floors and was not pleasant. Luckily it goes away at the end of fermentation. The wine - no such odors. Most recently I have been "brewing" something, so to speak. We have been on a Moscow Mule kick and the ginger beer portion is rather expensive seeing that most come in 4 packs. I kiddingly said "I should brew ginger beer."
