Re: Root Beer Rules
We have a local root beer here in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Webbers root beer. It is my favorite. We also have a place called "pops" They have more bottled soda than anyone. I will have to do a rootbeer check. Webbers man, It is the best....

Re: Root Beer Rules
In New England, we used to get homemade root beer that was uncarbonated. Like a thin syrup, that stuff needs a bit of ice. I'm a big fan of the slightly sharper birch beer. New England is also the home of the fabulous tonic known as Moxie. It is equally loved and hated as a beverage. It is a stiff soda for sure. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moxie_sodaI will definitely test the outcomes of this challenge when I can.

Re: Root Beer Rules
Late to the party but definitely can endorse Hey Song Sarsaparilla. The regular is pretty easy to find at most asian grocery stores. To be honest I don't know if I've ever had sarsaparilla that's NOT Hey Song.

Re: Root Beer Rules
Just had some of the Hey Song and it was alright. Not too sweet with a more Asian herbal undertone.

Re: Root Beer Rules
Tried Virgil's and Hank's this weekend. My personal preference is for not-too-sweet and for that reason I might like Hank's a little more. Both are excellent though.

Re: Root Beer Rules
Just cracked opened a bottle of Goose Island Root Beer. They're from Chicago but I found it randomly at a yogurt shop last night. Not some bad stuff.
