Root beer is pretty much American-centric from what I understand. I guess you'd have to have had it prior to taking whatever delicious stomach medicine you non-Mericans have.

Me, I find it fricking delicious.

Barqs.

Only root beer with bite.

root beer doesnt taste like pepto

and pepto tasted awesome. i would buy pepto flavored ice cream if they made it.

A good root beer is better than any cola. Too bad it's not caffeinated.

Root beer is pretty much loved by only Americans and Canadians. And some Japanese from Okinawa. Everyone else seems to detest it.

Some are caffeinated. Barqs is the only major one, but I've had some local craft root beers with caffeine in them.

Maybe trying it in a root beer float would help people who aren't accustomed to its flavor.

I like orange and Pr. Pepper a lot, too. I'm not sure if you had the diet cherry chocolate version of Dr. Pepper, but it truly was horrible. So horrible that I can't imagine anyone liking it ever.

I haven't tried diet cherry chocolate Dr. Pepper specifically but I like Dr. Pepper and I like diet cherry chocolates, so surely I'd love them together?

Funny story: First time I've tasted root beer was a month ago. All this time I was under the impression it's... well... a type of beer, which I'm not a huge fan of.

So you can imagine how blown away I was when I tried some freshly brewed root beer (from Fitz's on Delmar). It has that flavor that I know a young Shaka would've loved. Poor young Shaka.

When I was in grade seven a friend, in the presence of his (very hot mom) offered me a jones soda. I expressed my astonishment that said friends mom would let us drink in front of her. My thinking it was alcoholic because jones' come in glass bottles, like beer. Needless to say they laughed and I was embarrassed. Thanks for bringing that memory up.

edit: just remembered accidentally walking in on her changing and seeing titties. all's good now.

true story: i hated tea growing up. my family never had it home, and every time a friend would pull out a pitcher full of that dark brown and ask if i wanted some i'd say "OF COURSE" thinking it was root beer. then i'd drink it and the lack of carbonation and sugar would make me

I would hate to live in a world where A&W Root Beer is an annoyance to my taste buds.

Now a trip down memory lane. Old School A&W Restaurants, we had one in our town and they were great. The new A&W chains owned by YUM, not so much.

Pringo · « **Reply #41 on:** August 14, 2012, 08:52:53 PM »

Is the American A&W root beet the same as the Canadian kind? As far as I'm aware the Canadian version of A&W is a completely different company outside of the name.

Manufacturer

Dr Pepper Snapple Group (outside Canada)
A&W Food Services of Canada (Canada)

Pretty sure you are getting the very same drink in both places. Just stop drinking it out of a bag you hoser.

my bro was never a drinker, so when he graduated he threw a party at fitz's with two kegs - one full of root beer and the other full of cream soda

also i used to work at a&w and i brewed that shit by hand. sticky as fuck, but i got to eat corn dog nuggets and drink floats all day long

so many root beer memories...

My fave is Mug. Culver's root beer is surprisingly good.

I love Fitz's but I always want it to be more creamy/vanilla-y. Still delish though

Brehvolution · « **Reply #46 on:** August 15, 2012, 01:20:09 PM »

There is an A&W restaurant in Cortland, NY. You can pull up to a speaker 50's style or sit inside at a table and place your order from the phone on the table. Pretty cheap too for a burger joint.

I haven't found root beer yet since the last time we discussed this. I did however enjoy a tall glass of ginger beer yesterday.

chronovore · « **Reply #48 on:** August 15, 2012, 08:08:40 PM »

Birch Beer is good. So is Sasparilla.

And Cream Soda.

But I like a good Ginger Beer more than any of those.

After so long in Japan, I was happy to stop by an A&W in Idaho and enjoy a scooped-ice-cream root beer float. It was great.

Japanese people hate root beer; they think it tastes like medicine. Conversely, but related: I think Japanese medicine tastes great!

Now Ginger Beer is something I can't drink at all (even though I like ginger in food), makes my throat burn...
