Snowbird 0 #27 October 18, 2004 That's because you had American root beer. Try Canadian root beer, it's better! Actually, most brands of pop taste different north of the 49th, even Pepsi and Coke, and Barq's is my fave root beer. Although the small old fashioned brands are great, like Dad's. And I agree with Dave about A&W root beer floats. MMMmmMMMMmm. You'd best not try sasparilla if you didn't like root beer! And avoid Dr. Pepper, too... Funny thread, I didn't realise that root beer is a north american thing. Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. -Robert A.

Do they still produce Dad's up in Canad? In the US, PespsiCo dropped Dad's for Mug (blech ) in the early 90's. If you still have Dad's, I might have to take back all those snide comments about "hockey stick-weilding barbarians! -Blind"If you end up in an alligator's jaws, naked, you probably did something to deserve it."

adamjenner 0 #29 October 18, 2004 QuoteI'm going to go ahead and assume you've never had an A&W Root Beer ice cream float. I bet if you had one of those you might change your mind. Or if you had a classic IBC Root Beer. Good stuff man, good stuff! i couldn't agree with you more man. A&W has the best root beer EVER Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fast 0 #30 October 19, 2004 A&W is ok but in all honesty you can't compare it to the glass bottled stuff. I can buy rootbeer by the keg at the Sprecher brewery in milwaukee. They also have "orange dream" by the keg too. Though I have never seen it outside milwaukee its made by a beer brewer. Tastes better than the super mass produced stuff. I always prefer bottled root beer over pepsi/coke/etc brand~D Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me.

kelpdiver 2 #32 October 19, 2004 Quote Actually, most brands of pop taste different north of the 49th, even Pepsi and Coke, and Barq's is my fave root beer. It's the use of sugar versus corn syrup. I have my Vancouver friends bring me a 6 pack of coke when they come. Only time I drink non diet colas. I hate the taste of the corn sweeteners.
