What's your go to root beer?

[Anonymous No.17804779]

IBC is the best but I can't have it because for some fucking reason they use corn starch in it
Barq's was good before they removed the caffeine but now it's shit. Also corn syrup.

[Anonymous No.17804784]

Corn syrup and its consequences have been a disaster for soft drinks.

This place, Maid Rite, used to, and may still, make their own root beer. They serve it in thick glass frosted mugs, and its so delicious. When I was a little kid, my grandfather would pick me up and take me there after school, and we would each have two maid rites, root beers, and share a fry.

So is root beer alcoholic or is it just a cola pop with a misleading name?

you a southernfag?
me and my gramps used to do similar shit

[Anonymous No.17806508]

>>17806482
Neither. Cola is flavored with kola nut extract.
Modern root beer is a soda pop though.
It's called beer because old fashioned brewed root beer traditionally falls under the category of small ales or table beers, low ABV beers brewed more for water purification or medicinal properties than for geting sauced on.
See also: birch beer, spruce beer, ginger beer.

I have tried dozens of root beers at a local soda store, this is now my favorite and I can get it at most grocery stores near me.
Also birchbeer is very good too.

I wish I could get root beer at a reasonable price where I live. I live in Finland and all I can find are 12 oz cans, for like 2–3 dollars / can. The times I've tasted root beer have left me craving for more but I'm not comfortable spending that much money on a single can.

Anyone that likes root beer is a solid dude in my book, but there's alot of shit taste going around in this thread

[Anonymous No.17807813]

I'm looking for a strong, spicy root beer, like Barq's but dialed up to 11 instead of a faint tingly taste. I want the root beer equivalent of Reed's extra strong ginger beer. Does this exist?
