Them little local brands tho
Ads disguised as post are now on lemmy !
Go better, get a sarsaparilla. Many different root sodas to try, go to the nearest novelty soda shop or check online for small brand, real ingredient, glass bottle, root-based soda.
Edit: I don’t know the availability of this stuff outside of the us, but it won’t be hard to find in your closest large city worst case scenario. Ace hardware even has a small selection of “real” soda at checkout.
Ever had Moxie?
Personally I’m a Vernors ginger ale guy though (and makes a good float with homemade vanilla icecream too). A&W or one of the smaller batch places for root beer.
I love moxie. It has a very divisive taste though, everyone I’ve had try it either hates or loves it.
Love moxie. Only place I can get it is cracker barrel in my area. If it was sold in stores I’d have a vault of it in my home. If its local to you,crack one open for me wouldja?
I haven’t had it in quite a while as the niche soda shop in my city closed down during the pandemic. I used to occasionally order a few cases of it once or twice a year, you could probably do that too. A bit expensive, but nice as a treat if you can’t get it any other way. I don’t remember where I used to get it, it was some novelty soda site, but it looks like there are some on amazon for a bit of an upcharge. https://www.amazon.com/Moxie-Soda-12-12oz-Cans/dp/B079G3P558
I am moving soon though, I’m hoping I can find a soda shop nearby so I can get them cheap. Next time I have one I’ll drink it with you in spirit.
I tried sarsparilla and it felt like the root beer equivalent of going from Coke to glass bottle Mexican Coke. It just tasted a little bit richer/better to me. But I also like an occasional Virgil’s root beer, which is kind of its own thing.
Barq’s for neat, mug in a float
Cold Barqs from a can is soda perfection.
This. But if were going fancy, Bundaberg is the shit
Stewart’s or gtfo.
You’re all wrong.
Virgil’s is king.
Uncontested king.
Fuck, I’m buying some Virgil’s Root Beer today.
Dad’s ice cold, straight from a glass bottle.
When I take sobriety months, I collect root beers and try to find the best.
Dad’s came outta nowhere. Easy 2nd place for me. Had never heard of it. Incredible root beer. I was expecting something meh, idk why. I was pleasantly surprised.
Virgil’s is #1 all day tho
barqs is peak big brand in a can. When its an option I’ll always go for whatever glass bottle root of unknown brand is in the fancy drink shelf though.
IBC
I forgot about ibc!
Is Sioux city sarsaparilla still a thing? Went on a root beer kick as a teen,and that was my go to.
This image makes me uncomfortable.
I camed’t 🥵
What even is this
Mug moment 💀
Sorry I don’t drink mouthwash
Those who are lucky to have had Saranac know it is the best root beer ever made.
Mug moment
