Thought about including this one.

newey-west

I like hires too.

PhilPete

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

RyneK

Brigham's Brew.

Don't know anyone who likes it...except me

10/30/14 12:57pm

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

10/30/14 1:27pm

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

newey-west

10/30/14 12:12pm

Sprechers is my favorite

gustav88

10/30/14 12:15pm

Can order in buik as well

Heinz57

10/30/14 12:17pm

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

kotacoug

In some places you can get kegs for parties

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

10/30/14 12:56pm

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.

10/30/14 1:29pm

Henry W. is the easiest to get out of all those

workindev

10/30/14 12:26pm

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

BlueFrog

10/30/14 12:10pm

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

newey-west

10/30/14 12:14pm

Smoooooooth like no other.

Heinz57

10/30/14 12:16pm

No Shasta?

AndyDwyer

10/30/14 12:10pm

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

Mayor of Cougartown

10/30/14 12:11pm

My grandparents do, and it's aweful.

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?

10/30/14 1:30pm

Joe Billy Bob's

Jones Root Beer

10/30/14 12:16pm

The Joneses does make a great root beer.

kccougar

10/30/14 12:18pm

Because they use real sugar instead of corn syrup.

My sister and B-i-L did a rootbeer party last year. Part of this was a blind

BYUtka

10/30/14 12:19pm

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

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....
