What is the best rootbeer?

I'm not talking about the best pleb rootbeer like barqs or A&W that is made of high fructose corn syrup and chemical flavoring agents. I am talking quality ingredients.

any random local brewery is fairly likely to have a good root beer

Drinking a Hansen's right now. Just about anything with cane sugar is probably decent though.

This is pretty good. Their sarsapirilla soda is better than root beer.

I've tried about 30 different root beers, and the best falls down to Sioux City Sarsaparilla, Virgil's or Abita. >>8768011 and >>8768064 are men of taste. Tommyknocker and Dang! are good too, but a bit too butterscotch-y to have that real root beer character.

The worst I've had, special exception made for Shasta, was Maine Root Sarsaparilla. Shit tasted like thin, tinny water.

I would probably pick Boylan's as my favorite root beer.

>>8768011
Virgil's is probably the worst root beer I've ever tried. I would pick the cheapest most generic store brand root beer over Virgil's any day of the week.

No its not. It's not anything special, but it's far from the worst.
Sprechers is best

Boylan's is pretty fucking great, but you're wrong as shit about Virgil's. I can't fathom what kind of experience you must have had to think it was that bad.

Better stop using any spices period, Anon!
DEA pressured the FDA into banning sassafras oil because it was being used to make MDMA. Any other excuse is just that: An excuse.

so what studies determined that sassafras root was a carcinogen? And what studies determined that it wasn't, which caused the FDA to lift the ban?

>> No.8769549

>>8769543
The ban was never lifted you oaf.
You can get non-safrolated sassafras oil, but most food industries just switched to artificial flavoring instead.

Anybody ever have iron beer? Its a cuban soda, takes like root beer and cream soda. No sarsparilla or anything in it i dont think, but it will fuck up root beer for u

Yeah, just read about the sad role free sassafras extraction method.

No reason for you to be a dick about it though, you stupid nigger.
