Combine 3/4 cup sugar and 1/2 cup butter in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add egg; beat until blended. Beat in molasses and fresh ginger. Add flour mixture and beer alternately to sugar mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake at 350° for 40 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted into center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes on a wire rack; remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack.

This recipe has become a family tradition- I made it for my parents a couple of years ago, and now am "required" to make it for all holiday get togethers. I've even made a low sugar version that went over well, replacing the sugar and molasses with agave syrup. The gingerbread itself is wonderful, and the citrus sauce adds the perfect complement.

Very good flavor. The gingerbread is great and the citrus sauce, while very sweet (my husband loved it for that reason) a drizzle over a slice of the bread is divine. Will definitely make again.
