Pic related is good stuff when my sweet tooth isn't acting up on me. One of these days I'll get it sorted. Their ginger ale is really good too.

virgils is not root beer, there is no sassafras flavoring which is literally the only thing you need for something to be a root beer. sassafras is explicitly the root in question when you say root beer.

take that vanilla anise swill somewhere else and dont come to this thread with it

that is all

There's a whole bunch of alcoholic root beers on the market now. It must be a new trend.

At any rate, I need to rep the local stuff.

Found a case of pic related at Costco (lol Virginia), $15 for 24 bottles. I like it personally because it's got a lot more flavor to it, rather than the carbonated bite of a lot of other rootbeers.

that's still no brewing.
seriously what's the difference to soda?

it was literally first produced commercially by an abstinent quaker, so people won't drink alcohol.

brewing as in they cook/brew the ROOTS in water and then add sugar and yeast?

Soda is carbonated by a big can of CO2

That's how root beer was originally made. Nowadays it's just a type of soda. Ginger beer is a similar type of drink from England.

Traditional root beer is brewed, though, and if you can find it brewed root beer is fantastic.
