We started going to The Root Beer store where you can get some pretty off brand root beer. I decided to blog about the various kinds so we could have a log of what we tried and what we like, hopefully this keeps us from rebuying things we have already tried (and not necessarily enjoyed). We both love root beer, hopefully we can make it a once a month thing (or more) to go get a few new bottles to try.

Brownie Caramel Cream Root Beer
I like caramel but this didn't taste all that great to me. Richard says he doesn't recall liking it all that much either, he does however like the idea of it. I look forward to trying a good caramel cream someday, this just isn't it.
Moose Wizz Root Beer
This one has a vanilla flavor to it. I really enjoyed it. Richard said he liked it alright and would drink it again as well. I picked it out because there was a moose on it, and how can you go wrong with a moose?
Apple Beer
It's not root beer, but I bought it in an individual bottle so here it is. When I first tasted this I was not so sure I liked it. I had another sip and then another... before I knew it the bottle was gone. We're cider fans around here but I'm not much of a drinker, this is a wonderful substitute for someone like me. (Richard did not get to try it as I drank it all before he even knew it was open).
Sprecher Honey Root Beer
I love honey. And I love root beer. I do NOT like honey root beer. The person at the store warned me that it was a little flat so some people don't like it. It is flat, I wasn't a fan of that. But I really did not enjoy the flavor either. Richard wasn't a fan either.
AJ Stephans ButterScotch Root Beer
I liked this, I enjoy a good butterscotch root beer. I am a little behind on posting so I'm not 100% sure on my thoughts but I know I didn't dislike any of the ones we got recently that we had waiting to be posted.
The Original Firemans Brew Cream Soda
This was a cream soda, nothing more nothing less. It was good, but I would just as readily drink it from a can.
Fentlman's Ginger Beer
When I first tried this I thought, wow that's strong I'm not sure I like it. Then I had a little more, and a little more, and before I knew it the bottle was gone. It is a strong ginger though, if you aren't a fan of that I would avoid it. I loved it, Richard not so much.

Trader Joe's Vintage
Lots of flavors in this one (birch, anise, wintergreen, ect), Richard and I both really enjoyed it. We are thinking maybe next time we go to Trader Joe's we should check if they have it and the price comparison and maybe get a 6 pack to enjoy.

Zuberfizz
This one was creamy as advertised, and pretty smooth as well. I quite enjoyed it. It could have had a little stronger root beer taste but otherwise I really liked it.

Bundaberg
Bundaberg is by far the most expensive and strangest root beer we have tried. It is from Australia, maybe they make root beer a little different. It didn't really taste like root beer to me. SO many different little flavors to it, Molasses, Sarsaparilla, Wintergreen, just to name a few. Lots of flavors, just not one that stands out as all that much like root beer, and the ones that do stand out, I really didn't enjoy all that much.

Johnnie Ryan Delicious Root Beer
This was pretty good, not amazing but good. I enjoyed it enough I would get it again. It was smooth and tasted strongly of root beer, not something I can say for quite a few of the ones we have tried.

Sparky's
Sparky's was one of those ones that we tried before and I didn't post about it very quickly so I really didn't know what I thought. I didn't muck like it, while it doesn't say it has licorice (at least I don't recall it saying that), it has a similar flavor to some of the ones that do have it which I don't enjoy. That being said Richard enjoyed it a little more then me.

Filbert's Old Time Quality Draft Root Beer
Another so so root beer, it seems the ones that really stand out as great are few and far between. But when we try them we are happy to have found another one we enjoy. This certainly isn't on my list of ones to try again.

Thomas Kemper
When it comes to buying a root beer at a regular store, this is probably my favorite that you can get. It has a nice root beer flavor and is fairly tasty for something you can get just about anywhere.

Buckin Rootbeer
This was not my favorite root beer. I wouldn't say it was bad, but it wasn't all that great either. It has quillaia extract in it which I am guessing is the something that gives it a flavor I'm not much a fan of.

Dogs n Suds
Dog n Suds was just another root beer. Nothing too exciting. On the bright side it wasn't bad either.

Kutztown Root Beer
This one has yucca and acacia and a very different flavor. I don't think I would say I like it, but it is different. It's a little on the bitter side as well. I generally like a sweeter root beer I think. Richard wasn't crazy about it either, he does think it's novel though as it is something different.
