Northern Soda Company Vanilla Bean Sarsaparilla

this year for a limited edition flavor, Northern Soda Company tried to make a sarsaparilla based on a per-Prohibiton era recipe once popular in the American west. I am going to guess they upped the sugar in that recipe quite a bit, but I could be wrong. I always assume, perhaps incorrectly, that old sodas, …

Northern Soda Company Pecan Root Beer

Northern Soda Company Pecan Root Beer

ah, pecans. well I like pecan pie, so that is something right? I suppose I get why this is the second pecan root beer I’ve had whereas I have not had any other nut flavored beverages yet. I mean peanut root beer or walnut birch beer doesn’t sound so good. but pecan pie is all …

Northern Soda Company Pumpkin Spice Root Beer

unfortunately I found out about this a bit after Halloween. Northern Soda Company Pumpkin Spice Root Beer came in a variety four pack so I had to buy them all to get this one. at the moment I have no idea what the other flavors are, but they are not root beer related in any …

Northern Soda Company Vanilla Bean Root Beer

here we have the last of the four 2022 Father’s Day root beer variety pack from Northern Soda. I actually thought this one was not new but a repeat, but I was confusing it with the Northern Soda Company Vanilla Bean Sarsaparilla. I seem to recall that one was good so my hope is this …

Northern Soda Company Root Beer Float

so Northern Soda Company is at it again!! pop’s day (aka father’s day) 2021 saw the release of a new bundle, with two new brews! granted one was a new recipe of one they did last year, but whatever, I’ll take it! this is the sole really new one. i have not had the best …

Northern Soda Company Butterscotch Root Beer

so this is it, the end of the six pack of “pop’s day” special root beers that Northern Soda Company did for father’s day 2020. although I do enjoy butterscotch root beers and have had a few of them over the years, this is probably the least unique of the six flavors. which I suppose …

Northern Soda Company Maple Root Beer

and here we are at number five of the special “pop’s day six pack,” Northern Soda Company Maple Root Beer! as I am rather found of maple things, I am looking forward to this. granted most of the other maple root beers I have had were not really very maple tasting. so we shall see …

Northern Soda Company Ginger Snap Root Beer

I would say of the flavors included in the Northern Soda Co father’s day special six pack of root beers, this one is what I am probably most excited and intrigued by. in part because I quite like to bake. and one of my signature cookie recipes is a very yummy, super ginger-y ginger cookie …

Northern Soda Company Root Beer

yet another soda find by the marvelous Tony, king of the airwaves and middle America root beer finder extraordinaire! I really am excited about this, as it falls into the category of sodas I knew about but couldn’t find a way to get. plus the can is just super cool as well. very different than …

Northern Soda Company Diet Root Beer

I have put this soda off long enough. I just have a bad history with diet drinks, as you may have noticed. well, I am hopefully anyway that this will be the one to break the usual badness that is diet soda. now this is a very weird drink. it starts off actually pretty good. …

Northern Soda Company Toasted Pecan Root Beer

here we go with number three of the four father’s day special pack from Northern Soda Company! that is, assuming it is different than their normal pecan root beer. it seems sort of weird to me to have a pecan and a toasted pecan root beer, I mean, are they really that distinctly different flavors? …

the Drive In Restaurant Root Beer

this one is made by Northern Soda Company and I have been told it is a unique recipe just for the Drive In Restaurant people. I hope that is true and I am going on that belief, trusting in the people who have claimed such things. so this does taste like a Northern Soda product, …

Northern Soda Company Orange Cream Root Beer

I will admit first off, straight off the bat, that I am apprehensive of this. I mean, I like root beer, rather obviously, and I sort of like orange cream stuff, occasionally, although it is not my favorite flavor. yet together? that does not sound too good. different? sure! and I am all for unusual, …

Northern Soda Company Caramel Cream Root Beer

another offering from Northern Soda Company from their father’s day, “pop’s day variety” or whatever they called it is this Caramel Cream Root Beer. I am conflicted here as I quite like caramel but I quite don’t like cream soda. that might be a little weird, liking root beer a lot but cream soda not …

Northern Soda Company Minnesota Birch Beer

ah! Northern Soda Company is at it again! lucky for me! although it will be even luckier if this tastes any good. the question there boils down to whether a Minnesota company can do a birch beer right. it is a pretty distinctly North East US / Canada thing with a few exceptions. I have …

Northern Soda Company Cinnamon Roll Root Beer

for father’s day this year Northern Soda Company put out a six pack of all different flavored root beers in cans! I know, what?!!? right?! that is the stuff dreams are made of. it is something which I think every soda bottlers should now be required to do. my awesome lady took my strong hinting …

Columbia Soda Works Sarsaparilla Soda

I was at a rocket fizz and was not finding much new stuff so i decided to just check if anything had changed recipes. when i started, high fructose corn syrup did not have the stigma it has today, so lots of brands switched to sugar. this was one of them. the rest of it …
