Ginger beer isn't even made from fresh squeezed Gingers anymore.

A lot of root beer is flavored with wintergreen.

skeletor running away

interestingly only the bark and its oil are banned. you can still buy the leaves as gumbo file since they don't have the oil in them. they don't taste like root beer though

it was? huh. i used to brew my own root beer (like ten years ago, not in the 60s) and i probably still have a bag of sassafras bark laying around somewhere.

Which brand? I'm addicted to Walmart's brand because of the aspartame

Barq's has bite!

“Glass™ root beer. A sharp taste for the strongest of temper!”

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.

Same, Mug is good but IBC shines above the rest. Got hit the grocery store tomorrow now.

Some folks got that dog in em, and some folks like IBC.

I liked Sprechters (?), made with honey. Has a raven mascot
