Barq's for me
Barq's has bite!
A&W > Your favorite obscure brand > Mug > IBC > Barq's
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.
Frankly, MUG, IBC, and Barq's are all just a blur of unflavorful to me. Barq's just hides it behind a shitload of carbonation.
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.
Way better than a mug of glass root beer!
“Glass™ root beer. A sharp taste for the strongest of temper!”
Taste the full flavor through your lacerated esophagus!
Kind of ruins it for me that sassafras was banned in the 1960s for its carcinogenic properties and now all root beer is made from artificial sassafras. I stick with ginger beer myself.
Ginger beer isn't even made from fresh squeezed Gingers anymore.
I usually get Fever-Tree ginger beer, which lists ginger root in the ingredients with no artificial flavorings. That being said, I wouldn’t put it past any company to lie about ingredients after learning about, for example, studies showing products claiming to have avacado oil actually contain other types oils.
Some of them are. The good ones.
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.
Where I am the amount is limited, but you can make MDMA is you wanted to.
Use half for really good homemade root beer, half for MDMA. That sounds like a fun party.
If memes become the next generation of stealth ads
I’m more of an IBC Root beer kinda guy, but to each their own.
Same, Mug is good but IBC shines above the rest. Got hit the grocery store tomorrow now.
Give Virgils a try
I'll keep an eye out for it, thanks!
Some folks got that dog in em, and some folks like IBC.
Ahh, anyone else remember the root beer brand superiority meme wars?
Are there any actual real root beers now?
I liked Sprechters (?), made with honey. Has a raven mascot
Sioux city sasparella for me.
I do miss Ramblin Root Beer. Junk but happy memories.
Where my birches at?
By this I mean supporters of the superior beverage known as Birch Beer.
Sioux City is better.
Help, this is getting out of hand!
I'm surrounded by glasses filled to the brim with MUG Root Beer!
I keep porn myself more glasses, but I don't drink em. Can't stand the shitty taste.
Now my porn addiction keeps em coming, I can't stop it!
Soon, I will be crushed under the weight of all this MUG Root Beer and will die a horrible death.
I need to get out ... ... although porn one more couldn't hurt ...
Sparkling water is my addiction now that I quit pop
Which brand? I'm addicted to Walmart's brand because of the aspartame
Trader Joe's, Nixie organic, Waterloo, Polar, not necessarily in that order. Nixie is probably my favorite, especially the organic lime ginger one.
LaCroix can go fuck off. Not a fan of Spindrift either. I like Spindrift's tastes, but they are ass with the carbonation. Carbonation is my #1 reason I drink pop, kombucha, or sparkling water.
I love carbonated drinks,but the bitterness is usually overpowering for me. I cannot stomach most of the brands.
Derp. Love it.
It's good
