I found a root beer that really is GOOD!

[Archae]

"Stewart's."

Uses real sugar, not that &%$#@!!! high-fructose corn syrup.

$1.23 for 12 ounces.

I seldom buy soft drinks, but a friend heard me griping about A & W.

1. NO soda pop made today tastes as good to me

as the RC and Coke made with real sugar from my teen years!

[red dog 1]

8. Me too!

We used to live around the corner from a Pepsi Cola plant, and I loved that stuff.
I also loved RC Cola.

10. Every now and then I get a Pepsi or even a Diet Pepsi

That tastes like the kind I bought at ball games and drank from paper cups as a kid. I'm not sure what the quality is, but every now and then, it re-surfaces.

A few years ago, I bought a Coke in a round bottle. It was Christmas, and they put Coke out in them to look like tree ornaments. Best Coke I ever had. For a while, I was convinced it was somehow related to being in a round container, but subsequent purchases destroyed that hypothesis.

2. Have you tried Sprecher? It's made in WI, too

They use sugar.

[Archae]

3. Oh yeah.

Decided to try this one.

[PJMcK]

4. Stewart's Cream Soda and Birch Beer Soda are both really good, too (n/t)

[DarthDem]

5. Caffeine or No? n/t

[Archae]

6. No caffeine.

[DarthDem]

18. Thanks!

i love Mug but maybe I will give this a try. Where is it found?

[red dog 1]

7. Does it use filtered water?

I'd like to find a root beer that uses sodium-free filtered water, like Ocean Spray juices do.
[I love Ocean Spray White Cran-Strawberry]

Hansen's sodas, including root beer, are also good,[Hansen Beverages, Tustin, CA]
They use cane sugar, & are "Always Free from artificial flavors, sodium and caffeine"

[northoftheborder]

9. Coca Cola made in Mexico uses real cane sugar - available here in Texas -

if you look for it. Delicious!

I used to like root beer - thanks for the brand suggestion - will look for.

[Chipper Chat]

11. high fuctose corn syrup has an unpleasant aftertaste

That's why I prefer Mexican Coke. And any beverage made without it. Stewart's. Is great

[TexasBushwhacker]

12. You can get Dr Pepper made with cane sugar sometimes

It has a green label or can.

[Major Nikon]

13. I make my own root beer from time to time

When I was a kid, my dad used to make it with yeast to produce the CO2 and bottle it. You can do the same thing with repurposed 2 liter bottles.

There’s a number of RB flavoring you can buy online. Some of it has very unique flavors you can’t find in commercially prepared RB. Just mix with sugar and fizzy water.

14. Blue Sky Soda

Their “root beer float” is the bomb. Real cane sugar. Yep yep
Make it as a float and it is over the top!

[Laffy Kat]

15. Yum. How 'bout with a scoop of B & J's vanilla ice cream.

Made myself salivate.

[Archae]

16. Memories...

Going to A & W's, getting that big frosty mug full of A & W root beer, and vanilla ice cream... :p

[miyazaki]

20. Godamn that was good. I can remember the burps of that

root beer burning through my nostrils when i was a kid.

[AmandaRuth]

17. good root beer

and ginger ale are highly underrated. I don't drink soda as a general rule, but everyone in a while, will go for a cup of ice and a root beer or ginger ale. I've had Stewarts and it is very good

[DiverDave]

19. Yep, try

Sioux City Sarsaparilla.
Yes, it was mentioned in "The Big Labowski"
It is really good.
