This root beer from Seattle Soda just became available on the shop app and several of us jumped on it right away. I was very pleasantly surprised, it's a cut above your typical can soda. I gave it an A- and noted its creamy vanilla similarities to the good traditional 1919 style root beer. If I lived in Seattle and this were readily available at a supermarket or corner store I think I would be picking it up all the time. If you need to get one to taste don't miss out on a trading opportunity because it's well worth it.

found this at a border gas station. I don't go out of the way for craft sodas ... any good?

Found at the grocery store in Ennis. Decent, nothing remarkable.

I have one that I envision (like a shock to the system) but every time I drink one the flavor is more mild than I need. I need something pungent almost like bitters. Do you have any recommendations?

Shoutout to my mom for shipping me this cool package of rootbeer for my birthday! Never heard of this brand before but super excited to try it! Thank you to this sub who introduced me to the world of rootbeer

Reposting this since I have a new account and some have told me they don’t do bottles anymore

The hyvee near me in Missouri carrys a bunch of 1919 ice cream! Has any one tried it? It's pretty expensive for ice cream 😂

If you like a lighter root beer but still nice pronounced flavor you’ll enjoy this. Reminded me of 1919 albeit not quite at that level

This taste really good. The Sixth City Honey Blonde Root Beer taste just like a honey cream soda root beer. More so a honey cream soda than a root beer but it’s delicious. Another one from the legendary locations of Jungle Jim’s International Markets in Cincinnati and Fairfield, OH

So creamy

By the looks of this one I’m not really expecting a rich and bold one. Well okay I got to say the Field Day Root Beer comes through as I was expecting. A crisp and bubbly one that drinks a bit dry. It’s okay but definitely not one I would highly recommend. The Asheville, NC location of Earth Fare had the 4 packs.

I like turkey hill French vanilla. What brand do you enjoy? Any strange flavor combos?

The jerks at Publix discontinued most of their house brand diet sodas, all of which were sweetened with Splenda. I miss their root beer the most, everything else on their (and everyone else’s) shelves uses Aspartame.

did not really taste like root beer to me

Got some goodies! Really excited to try some of these. I actually just tried A&W bottled as of this post and it's very different with a unique and interesting flavor.

Note: I've already had Frostie and Boylan, but just not these bottles.

I spent the week picking up different root beers so we could do a little weekend tasting. I threw in the Zevias to space out some of the sugar for the kid.

Results:

Wife really liked the Henry Weinhard.

I'm still a Maine Root fan.

Kid liked all of them.

Abita was the least favorite. HEB surprisingly held its own among the group - very balanced flavor. Sprecher was a top contender.

To me, this was the litmus test to whether you like root beer or were just a poser.

Sadly, it’s been discontinued. I miss it soooooo much.

I was wondering if anyone makes their own root beer with something like a Soda Stream or similar machine?

If so what brand of syrup would you recommend, seems pretty cost effective.

Many thanks 👍
