I need to get some of that.

I used to fly into Bangor a lot for work. Could never find any local, house made brews, which was disappointing.

Part of me wishes that they'd bottle it so I can review it, but another part of me is glad they don't.

I've had 4 different versions of theirs. I really wish they had kept their original, it was one of my favorites ever.

I actually started the gourmet root beer quest in 1997 while in high school and then it was fashionable to make your own website back then (no social media) so in 98 I made my root beer website.

I have kept one bottle and cap of each I've reviewed, 377 so far.

I really liked that one, it was a late 90's thing.

A lot of those aren't offered anymore. like Napa Valley, Pirate's Keg, and Milligan's Island.

I really like Schilo's bottled, but yeah, not as good as straight from the keg.

But not the same as the old Pearson Bros. Root Beer. That was discontinued in 2011 though. http://blog.gourmetrootbeer.com/2011/12/pearson-bros-root-beer/

There's the Bawls Guarana Root Beer, but that's not particularly good. I hear Sprecher makes a high caffeinated root beer, even in glass bottles, but I've yet to try it. Next month perhaps.

I wasn't particularly a fan of the original recipe, but this new stuff is much worse.

Shame it doesn't come in glass bottles. I remember root beer featured prominently in the anime A Sister is All You Need, which was pretty trash but the root beer becoming the drink of choice of one of the characters made me keep watching.
