Henry Weinhard's is the best brand commonly available at stores. Their beer is the swill of the craft beer world, but the root beer is top notch.

Barq's is my favorite, but I enjoy any of the random artisanal ones I've encountered.

I will continue to push this because it tastes like root beer and it is 80 goddamn proof.

Spike a coffee, black tea, or mix it 1:2 with all types of whisky.

Root Beer

Composed entirely of roots and beer, root beer is the drink of choice here in the haptic/Retro household. As a result, root beer shall henceforth be discussed and critiqued, mostly on a scale from 1= crap to 10= will buy again and drink without a gun to my head.

First up: Original Stewart's Fountain Classics Root Beer. Not the first root beer we've tasted but it's the one I'm drinking as I write.

It gets a 2 because it is drinkable but that's about as far as it goes. Pronounced caramel flavor for some reason, otherwise a standard grocery store root beer. I wish it had the slight wintergreen flavor that I've come to recognize is what I want in a root beer.

Who has a random, hard to find root beer that we should try? The best so far has one one we found at a store that also sells liquid stevia specially extracted without chemicals because, you know, "natural".
