Thread: root beer

just wanted to put this out there, i think root beer is the best soda ever made, well with the exception of Sarsaparilla soda (i can just never find it anywhere)
thats all


-dan-

Now the real question is which root beer? A&W, Hires, Barks, Mug, Cott, Dad's, Jones, Pop Shop, or other?

Personally, I'm a Dad's rootbeer fan.

Virgil's handcrafted root beer is the best. it's made with all the attention to detail as a fine craft beer. i recommend you all try it... you'll never be able to choke a&w down ever again.

Virgil's Root Beer

This is scary we even share tastes in root beer Virgils is incredible!!

Of course just like appreciating a good microbrew doesn't stop me from enjoying a bud at the ballpark, I still go for the classic A&W most of the time.

And yes Whole foods should have it!!

There’s nothing like sitting back and relaxing, starring at the car you just spent a couple hours shining, drinking a cold A&W root beer and listening to oldies.

Cars, oldies music, and root beer go great together.

Edmunds Scientifics makes a kit to make your own brewed root beer. I've never tried it so I can't vouch for it but it looks good.

I agree that Root Beer is amazing and I won't take the time to argue a favorite here, but am I alone here in saying... I like Birch Beer better...?

I remember how incredibly good the A&W in a frosted mug was when I was in my 5’s (I’m 51 now). Current A&W sure does not taste like it, even in their “restaurants”, nothing I’ve found does. I’m going to hunt down Virgil’s with a passion now.

Root beer is hard to find here in Belize but Bowen & Bowen, the fellows that offer the national beer, Belikin, and Coca-Cola brand soft drinks have one. I'm not sure what brand it is. It comes in a Fanta bottle but I don't think it is Fanta root beer. I buy it by the crate because I'm not driving past their distribution centre every day.

When it is the only thing you've got, its nice enough.

There's a drive-in in OKC called Coit's. Their root beer is by far the best I've ever had. Of course, that could be because I've been drinking it since I was three! I simply can't choke down A&W or Barq's- it just tastes fake to me.
