Thread: 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.

Too bad you never met The Root Beer Lady.

I LOVE root beer...just sad that it's near impossible to get here.

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

Oups..is that twenty-five imperial dollars or? But anyway I think I'm a bit out of the imperial jurisdiction..unless they want war with the great power of the north..the kingdom of Sweden and his royal highness king of the svear, goths and wends.
