root beer

Yes! I remember the root beer and those icy mugs. The stuff just does not taste the same. "Dad's" was excellent also. They both had that creamy texture and deep flavor. Virgils come very close.

There is an A&W burger joint ion Raleigh and they have keg root beer. It's really good. Much better than their bottled stuff.

yes, almost all root beer is decaf. barq's has caffeine added in (that bitter taste of caffeine is the "bite" they advertise)

i need caffeine because i am a software engineer and if i don't get it i'll go into withdrawal :o
