My current favorite root beer comes from Harrisburg Pennsylvania’s Appalachian Brewing Company. They are an independent brewery that happens to make a fantastic rootbeer with a strong honey flavor to it and uses appalachian spring water.

Henry Weinhard’s Root Beer is the best I’ve ever had. It’s main ingredients are Sassafras, Honey, and Vanilla.

As far as boutique root beers go, I was very disappointed with Virgil’s. Too much licorice flavor.

Fitz’s Root beer out of St. Louis is absolutely to die for. I call for a run off with the new candidates.

It’s a shame that Henry Weinhard’s Root Beer wasn’t included. It is by far my favorite and I make an extra effort to bring some home with me whenever I travel far enough west.

It’s not quite root beer, but in the same family of beverages, Moxie is now and forever #1 in my book. I am looking forward to trying Americana, however.

1919 Root Beer is perhaps the greatest roobeer ever made. Its rare, as unlike nearly every other rootbeer (including the ones reviewed) it is non-pasturized, which means it cannot be bottled, only served from a keg. they do make “personal kegs” for you home refrigerator that holds about a gallon. Brewed in New Ulm Minnesota at the Schells Brewery. If you are ever in the area, spend the 3 bucks, take a great tour and sample the beers, and of course, dont forget to get a glass of 1919.

In my own recent casual taste test I have found Thomas Kemper to beat out Mug, Barf’s, A&W, IBC, Powerhouse (local brew), and the bottom off the list H. Weenhard’s. The last was an impotent piece of mouthwash, so bad I spent a half-hour with customer service asking how they could be so brash to produce nothing but fizz-in-a-bottle. Tastelessly made with high fructose corn syrup so much so you had to struggle to dial in your taste buds to get a hint of flavor.

Try Abita Root Beer. From a Brewery in Louisiana. Outstanding Drink.
Can usually be found at Publix grocery stores if you have one of those available.

I have tried over 60 different root beer’s and to me the absolute best is Hank’s Gourmet Root Beer. It’s from Philadelphia but you can get it at Bev Mo, Galco’s soda pop stop. Pure cane sugar, creamy, not to sweet, nice vanilla aroma and the perfect blend of spices. Give it a try. I live in Oregon and I have it shipped to me from Philly… that’s how good it is.
