IBC in the original glass bottles with the non twist caps were my jam before the turn off the century. Only one deli in the area sold it and we could pretend it was a beer.

I'm sure if I tried it today it would be mid at best, but probably better than Barqs or MUG.

Barq's is easily the best. IBC is the worst it is just sugar water with barely any flavor.

My older brother used to order Dad's root beer, and rip the label off. It was cringe, and idk why he did it.

He was also drinking Crown Royal, like it was pop. Got so drunk, that he was making himself look like an idiot.

I assume you prefer syrupy root beer to crisp carbonated root beer, because my list is basically the opposite.
