Had Virgils Bavarian once and it was great, but it was $4 for a bottle. Sprechers is good but have get it at a specialty grocery store around here. Henry W's is on the shelf at most grocery stores, but out of stock lots of the time.

Add "Sprecher's" and "Bull Dog" and you got the four horseman of Root Beer.

That stuff is nothing but water and extract, not good at all.

you don't even have two of the best Root Beers of all time listed...

kotacoug

10/30/14 12:10pm

Too many to list. I just listed the ones that I thought would appeal to a wide

Sprechers is my favorite

gustav88

Can order in buik as well

Heinz57

most Cousins subs have Sprechers on tap... I go there just for the Root Beer.

In some places you can get kegs for parties

I second this. All Sprecher's sodas are awesome with the exception of Ginger Ale

Virgils Bavarian Nutmeg isn't for the tight in the wallet...$4/500ml bottle but

kotacoug

10/30/14 12:16pm

Virgil's Bavarian is absolutely the best. You can taste every ingredient in it.

Sprecher Alcoholic Rootbeer. Thumbs up if you drink this without your wife and

BlueFrog

Good call--this one should have been on the list.

newey-west

Smoooooooth like no other.

Heinz57

No Shasta?

I had some at a ward function not too long ago. Disgusting. Worse than the store

Faceman

10/30/14 12:27pm

anybody ever made home made root beer. it's fun and crazy good

My grandparents do, and it's aweful.

NorthernLight

10/30/14 12:19pm

I guess there is an art to it then.

Mayor of Cougartown

10/30/14 12:22pm

Are you talking about using extract or brewing the ingredients?

Jones Root Beer

NorthernLight

The Joneses does make a great root beer.

kccougar

10/30/14 12:18pm

Because they use real sugar instead of corn syrup.

A&W is the best of the big brand root beer. Not watery but full of flavor.

Cachanilla83

10/30/14 1:31pm

My FIL mixes IBC and A&W and adds dry ice. It's great.

byujacob

10/30/14 12:22pm

Makes me sad that so many people picked A&W

workindev

10/30/14 12:24pm

Why does lots of people having good taste make you sad?

BYUtka

10/30/14 12:25pm

A bad root beer is still really good, and A&W certainly isn't the worst. There

workindev

10/30/14 12:28pm

I like Faygo, but it's not the best. Virgil, probably.

reagan21

10/30/14 12:27pm

HighHorse Homemade is the best.

HighHorse

10/30/14 12:28pm

I made homemade for a work pot luck today.

jdub

10/30/14 12:58pm

how do you make it?

kotacoug

10/30/14 2:03pm

Get a 5-gallon cooler

jdub

10/30/14 2:11pm

A note on sugar:

jdub

10/30/14 2:13pm

I'll give it a try

kotacoug

10/30/14 2:28pm

If you voted A&W, I bet you drink it with ketchup on your hot dog.

reagan21

10/30/14 12:28pm

Ketchup on a Hot Dog is an Abomination. A&W RootBeer is like dew from Heaven.

BYUtka

10/30/14 12:30pm

You're half right.

reagan21

10/30/14 12:36pm

Sweetwater tavern brews their own...it is wonderful.

Seito107

10/30/14 12:32pm

Glad you left off Barq's -- the worst ever. Tastes like bubble gum.

Hinta

10/30/14 12:33pm

Dang! That's Good Butterscotch Root Beer. I've never actually had their regular

BYUHawk

10/30/14 12:34pm

DTGBRB is too seet for me.

RyneK

10/30/14 1:30pm

Yep, I love it but can definitely see that for some people.

BYUHawk

10/30/14 1:35pm

A&W is the best for ice cream floats....

Top 7 out of 167 tasted, glass bottles only
