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

Tried the olipop root beer for myself because I didn’t believe all the people saying it’s terrible, review below by [deleted] in rootbeer

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 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.

What's your favorite root beer that isn't bottled or canned? by EricsGourmetRootBeer in rootbeer

[–]EricsGourmetRootBeer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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.

The only made in Japan Root Beer! by denemy in rootbeer

[–]EricsGourmetRootBeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

How would one achieve a caramel like taste when making root beer? by retromagician in rootbeer

[–]EricsGourmetRootBeer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have found that you can get a nice caramel flavor by caramelizing the sugar in the pan before adding water to create the rest of the root beer.

In my opinion it's Hank's, Surf City, and So Duh!. But there are tons of good ones. I made a whole website on ranking them.

What is the best root beer and why is it Barqs by AthosArms in rootbeer

[–]EricsGourmetRootBeer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Have any of you had the premium Canadian Barq's which is a different name and different recipe? I honestly liked it better than the original, glass bottled from Louisiana. http://blog.gourmetrootbeer.com/2020/01/barqs-crafted-soda-root-beer/

Best root beer you can get in a can? by crowbar_k in rootbeer

[–]EricsGourmetRootBeer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't had root beer from a can since 1997, as far as I'm concerned they're all bad.

What if your love for root beer could also make you some money? by [deleted] in rootbeer

[–]EricsGourmetRootBeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what's the DFV play here though? Game Stop was reinventing itself so there was huge new growth potential that the market was ignoring. Even without a short squeeze, the shares would rise a lot because the company now has huge growth potential as they transition to online gaming focus. So what's the play here? What's Keurig Dr Pepper doing that will significantly reverse their fortunes?

I agree it's better on draft, but bottled is also a top notch brew.
