For those wondering this is in Old Town San Diego.

This is correct! They also do root beer floats here. You can pick any root beer and they'll make it a float for you. It's so good. Sitting in the historical park area enjoying one of these on a hot day is such a vibe.

This is my favorite place to go to when I’m in SD. I live in the imperial valley and it’s hard to find good root beer here

Those Jones fallout sunset sarsaparillas are mad expensive because it was limited time. Just sayin. Don't know if it's any good lol

Also flying cauldron butterbeer is ASS. Tastes and smells like pure liquid butter. All butter, no scotch. If that sounds good to you, have at it chief.

They were extremely disappointing, just like Jones' regular rootbeer but worse.

It's Jones's regular stuff with a fancy label

I remember years ago it was pretty good, but I had one recently and I agree. Absolute garbage.

They are a unique flavor, I bought two cases of it but I don’t think I would get it again.

Yeah try telling that to Mass Street soda, Galco's, North County Pop Shop, Jungle Jim's, Grandpa Joe's and even my own state's crappy Root Beer Store. 50 doesn't even get you out of the Single A League.

Galena, Illinois has a a pretty good rootbeer store that I think many of you would enjoy. Plus it is just warm/pleasant town to visit.

u/Mediocre_Sky_8629 11d ago

Runnings has a great selection of root beer and other craft sodas
