From my fridge. It's hard to get here. I paid $32 for a 24 pack. Imported from Singapore. Great drink.

My supermarket has a section with typical American products. I already tried it and I don't think it is anything special. The most disgusting thing I tried from the section with American products was a bottle of Bosco salt caramel. I knew it would have to be disgusting because it is made from corn syrup. But it was a lot worse then I expected.

There are tons of small producers to choose from in the US; I didn't realize it wasn't that big outside the states. Places like Bev-Mo have a really good selection. In terms of taste you can usually classify root beers based on creamy taste (vanilla flavoring but not full-on cream soda) and its "bite" (sort of a bitter aftertaste, when it's too strong it gives that cough syrup-y taste). I like Sprecher the most. The worst I've had was one from Hawaii that tasted like coffee.

In terms of the big brands, Mug has a creamier, milder taste, A&W is in-between, and Barqs has more of a bite. Frosty's, Sioux City, IBC, Stewarts, and Dad's are all decent.

Birch beer and sarsaparilla are also good and you should try them. Also try root beer floats.

Root beer + a scoop of vanilla ice cream makes a root beer float. They're amazing, especially during summertime.

Never had it but I've been told it tastes like toothpaste so I don't know why you'd drink it, much less with ice cream.

In my homemade experiences. Putting ice cream into soda either makes the the soda to frothy to drink or the ice cream to unaffected by the soda....

Also why can't I find regular vanilla these days, not vanilla bean but Vanilla and chocolate. I swear to fucking god that is what ice cream is meant to be.

All the drinks I had in Canada tasted good but the taste of root beer just reminded me of petrol.
>>
>>62201914

isn't that a cream soda though?
>>
>>62206178
There's two of them a lot of people mix up the two because the can looks the same, the cream soda has a more vanilla taste to it, whereas the root beer like >>62206155 said is more petrol or vapour like.

>>62203162
>I didn't realize it wasn't that big outside the states.

we actually have proper beers.
