i have been hearing about this drink since it came out a year or so ago. people wrote in about it at first, something new! i have seen it in stores but did not bother buying it until now. the biggest reason i finally got it was because i found out Barq’s Floatz had been …
Reading Draft Birch Beer
ah, another birch beer from the fine folks at Reading Draft! the third and final part of the holy triumvirate of birch beers has arrived! white? check! red? check! and brown? CHECK! yes indeed. they actually throw in one more variety which i will get to in good time also. there is a lot of …
Hey Song Extra Salty Sarsaparilla
every once in a while i will try to go to one of the gigantic asian markets in my area when i pass them, just to check if they have any different sarsaparillas or perhaps even a root beer. and of course to get some men’s pocky and koala yummies. i do it less and …
Chama River Brewery Root Beer
so the amazing Sagi, who is a very relentless and talented root beer tracker, went on a road trip before Christmas time in 2015. as most root beer hunters would, along the way he stopped at many places to get new root beers. he updated me often on his progress, sending photos and the like. …
Demented Brewing Co Root Beer
so it has happened. after nearly two decades of both reviewing root beers, I have met the good doctor, my arch rival (not really), the root beer gourmet, Eric! i know, whaaaaaaat?!??! he has been located on the west coast for most of this time but is shortly moving to the middle, while i am …
Rocket Fizz Double Barrel Root Beer

Reading Draft Blueberry Birch Beer
oh wait, one more. the odd one of the bunch! honestly i am kind of scared of this. when i saw it on the website, i was excited, it is different, interesting. i love blueberries, i love birch beer, why not?! then i thought, i love ice cream and ketchup and THAT combo just did …
Way 2 Cool Root Beer
another reformulation gotten on my Rocket Fizz journey is this Way 2 Cool Root Beer. although it is not too reformulated, just the fructose is now sugar cane. now, do I add ‘sugar cane’ as a new type of sweetener in my database or just assume it is the same as ‘cane sugar?’ I am …
Heartland Brewery Root Beer
i never know what to expect from brewery root beers. on the whole they seem pretty predictable and tame. it is just something to have on the menu for the kids or young at heart so that the brewery can brag about having their own. nonetheless i always go into a new soda hoping for …
JJ Bitting Brewing Co Birch Beer
as a savvy consumer, or at least someone who tries to be, i get a lot of the ‘daily deal’ emails from places like groupon and livingsocial. most often i just glance at it and delete it, but sometimes it is for a brewery or restaurant that i don’t know about so i check it …
