so this root beer IS actually bottled and distributed in Oregon but you can get it in the Bulldog brewpubs too. it is slightly strange that there are 3 different sweeteners but whatever. in any case, this is an excellent soda. creamy, smooth, sweet with a hint of honey. actually i think it is one of the only brews that pulls off having honey in it well. i love honey but often it comes off as almost rancid. not here though at all. it tastes fresh and good. wow, this may just be one of the best root beers i have ever had! i think someone has at last dethroned Boylan’s Creamy Red at the top spot. whoa. not overly carbonated or too foamy or anything of the sort. i have to try this in a frosted mug, the next bottle is dedicated to that task. so get this if at all possible. now to try and arrange some sort of daily delivery for me!
UPDATE: word is that this WILL soon be distro’ed nationally! hoorah!!

Bulldog root beer is the best I’ve ever had, Fortunately, the World Market near me always has a few six packs of it… well they did, until the last time I went, they switched from six packs to four packs.
This is the best root beer that I have ever tasted. Very satisfying, creamy and full-flavored. No wierd aftertastes. World market caries this, but always seems to be sold out or very few 4-packs available. If you find this rootbeer, better stock-up, as it is not readily available in every World Market.
I tried Bulldog based on the great comments and found it disappointing. Maybe it’s the honey, i don’t know. But it wasn’t what I’d call a good rootbeer. I’ve always liked Hanks and will debate on going back to that or try others. But having tried in excess of 50 different rootbeers, i’d have to put Bulldog in the middle of the pack, certainly not the top.!
has a great and powerful root beer taste. i don’t like a wimpy root beer, but it was a little too sweet. it has the perfect root beer taste, if it were only a little less sweet. could stand a little more foam too, for my taster. i like a foamy head on my root beer. love that it is made with cane sugar rather than corn syrup, and would rather it didn’t have artificial flavor. looking forward to trying the boylan’s natural
Honey is a tad too strong, not enough carbonation. Still good, though.
I discovered Bulldog in West Seattle, at Thriftways. For a supermarket I was stunned at the incredible root beer selection they have.
Prior to discovering The Root Beer Store in Redmond, Wa I would drop into W. Seattle and pick up a 24 of Bulldog!
Unfortunately, it’s not available in Canada.
It’s one of my favourites!
This one is just “good”. Nothing too spectacular. It’s better than your average A&W, but it seems that the flavor is just kind of blah and not very strong. It lacks any form of punch. For me, it’s an 80.
I just found this brand for the first time at a local BevMo in California. Other than fairly modest carbonation, I found it to be an excellent, somewhat-subtle product. It was a quite smooth product; went down real well on a rather warm day. I’ll add it to my small list of favorites.
