Title: I tried a Root Beer today!
Post by: Smokin Don on June 24, 2015, 09:55:20 PM
I saw this at Sandman's and just had to give it a try; Not Your Father's Root Beer. I don't drink much pop, soda, but once in a great while will have a coke or a root beer. At 5.4% this does not taste like a beer; it tastes like root beer soda but to me it leaves an unpleasant spice after taste. Smokin Don

The best root beer I have taste thus far is called Uncle Scott's root beer. No alcohol in it - but the flavor is amazing.

I like good old fashioned (crafted) root beer.  I haven't had any with alcohol in it, however.  I'd like to give that a try sometime.

Well, as of this evening I have had a bottle of the Not Your Father's Root Beer.  We had dinner at a new place in our little burb.  They actually had this on the menu.  I thought it was really good.  One of their specialties tonight was a root beer float using this root beer.  I opted for the straight root beer.  I'd order it again.  I'll even look for it and try to buy some.

Thanks for posting, Don.  If you hadn't posted about that root beer, I never would have noticed it on the menu.

My sister, who's never met a beer that she liked, says that she will drink this because it tastes exactly like regular root beer.

I just wonder how it wold work with a scoop or two of vanilla dropped in????

Ok, I climbed on the root beer wagon... Found it at Piggly Wiggly . There's a second brand as well but I'll have to wait to try that one.

 The Old Town is really good. But wow is it sweet! Kerry and I share them do to the sweetness. But its a great treat and almost like desert.

We tried the Sprecher the other night.  This is more what I expected hard root beer to taste like. Not as sweet and a little more beer-y...
 I like the Ole Town better even though it is much sweeter.
It makes a mean Root Beer Float!

State Softball Tournament in Mankato last weekend. Stopped at "The Largest Candy Store in Minnesota" on the way down. They have all the old time candies as well as an incredible selection of soda pops. I found a bottle of Dogs and Suds. I'm saving it for this weekend...

Also picked up some Sprecher root beer and cream soda.

Looking forward to the weekend!

OK,I tried it tonight,and will do so going forward,I liked it.And agree,this should make a killer root bear float.Tasted like the RB my dad made,with a slight alcohol taste.I liked it.Easy to slug down too.

Mrs says she loves it,doesnt taste bitter and surprised it actually has alcohol as she doesnt taste it.She liked it A LOT.

So for thanksgiving this year,desert will be cranberried cheesecake and root beer vanilla floats.

Thanks for the heads up,never would have tried otherwise.  8)

Weinhard is my ex-wife's maiden name...( "whine-hard"..... ::) ??? 8) )

Let me guess. She didn't want to give up the maiden name reputation so she hyphenated  ;D
