Root beer
What a fun discussion to miss over the weekend.
IBC is very good. It's readily available where I'm
from so I grew up with it.
Stewart's is ubiquitous. It tastes too much like
A&W--just plain.
1919 is excellent. It was one of the few redeeming
qualities of commuting to New Richmond, WI for the
better part of a year.
I've never heard of Sprecker's but now I'm looking for
it.
My personal favorite is Weinhardt's. But it's only
available in the west (brewed in Portland, OR). I
even asked Jungle Jim's to carry it and they can't get
it.
It's sweet, and full of vanilla and honey flavors, and
frothy-smoooooth.
Their cream-soda is equally good.
Someday I may move back out west. I'll probably never
verbalize it, but getting Weinhardt's at Safeway will
be one reason for it...
In the back of my mind I've pictured running a
mock-tavern with every conceivable brand of gourmet
root beer available. And music. Like a Canal Street
for soda lovers.
I like root beer.
Barq's sucks,
Brian
