Root Beer

Urban BBQ has it on tap in Rockville -- across the street from GC. Decent grub too.

yeah, Urban BBQ is a great place, haven't checked the Olney location to see if they have it on tap.

My brother bought me a 4-pack of Sprecher Root Beer. Fantastic. They also make Cream Soda too.

Excellent root beer!

Good "real beer" as well

All of Nature's Brew sodas are very good an yeah their root beer is up there. And as commercial as it is, i do think that A&W is very good. Back in he 90's they had cream soda too and while i haven't had it in like 20 years, in my memory it still stands as the best cream soda ive ever had. (I wouldn't be surprised if they always had it in the states but here it was only for a short period of time).

A&W does rock! Time for a root beer float guys?

when I was a kid there was an A&W rootbeer stand in town with carhops on roller skates, nuthin better than A&W out of the keg in a big frosty mug. Still have some of those mugs but they are mostly filled with the other kind of beer these days.

Slightly off-topic, but there is a liquor called Root, made by Art in the Age distillers. It's an 80-proof root tea (precursor of root beer). Tasty stuff, and it's not a sweetened liqueur, either.
I like it over ice. The distillery also makes a rhubarb liquor, as well. Sorry for the derail.

Back on topic: Stewarts root beer is very good, imo.

Bulldog Root Beer (you expected otherwise?). Only available retail on the west coast (unfortunately). Good stuff.

Another vote for IBC. However, the local craft brewers here in Fort Collins make some erally nice root beers, too.

IBC root beer float with Blue Bell ice cream FTW!!
