IBC is a good compromise between the regular root beer brands and the
premium stuff.  After all, everything tastes better in a bottle.

Yeah, I agree - I wasn't too impressed with Stewarts.  Same for
Sprecher's and Dorothy's.  I did, however, think they tasted a little
more like what I would make from scratch.

As someone said, their other flavors are most delicious.  I like the
orange 'n cream, cherries 'n cream, strawberries 'n cream...

Very much so, especially on tap.

Total agreement here.  We recently started getting this stuff at our
weekly end-of-the-week office party (it's a self-sponsored thing where
we go out and get beer, chips, and cookies for a little fling at 3pm
before the weekend starts).  A few of us didn't care for alcohol, so we
figured if we're getting $1/bottle beer for everyone else, we can
splurge for some good quality root beer and cream soda (Weinhardt's also
has orange cream soda).

Now we're pop snobs, and A&W, which used to be my favorite brand, now
just tastes so... common.

Indubitably.
