ROOT BEER TASTE TEST

[pyshodoodle]

We're not really supposed to talk about rootbeer until next week anyway.... A-Treat makes Pineapple soda also. I drank some Caribbean brand in Grand Cayman years ago and that was the best Pineapple soda I ever had. Drank it every day!

Too funny Kate,....I was saving the acl Boylans for awhile, but they somehow got accidentally sent to the recycle bin![]

P.S.He!! -Mart's pineapple soda is pretty good.[]

I have 2 in my car and I haven't decided what to do with them yet! They'll probably end up rare because we recycle so much these days. At least it gives you an excuse to by more! We picked it up at the beer distributor, where you can mix & match and it's a little cheaper than most places I see it for sale. (Yes - can you tell I'm from PA... do others even know what a beer distributor is?)

How about the six pack carry out limit, Do you guys have that, if you buy beer at an eatery? Here's some other soda thats REALLY good that I may have posted sometime ago here....Their rootbeer might even give the Boylans a run, but their Birch Beer! good stuff!

Sarsasparilla ~ Also vr. good!

They have it on draft at Musikfest... that's when I usually drink Kutztown Birchbeer.... that's local stuff, too.... you have it up there?

In Buffalo there are three taps at the sink: hot, cold, and beer. Now that's a public service.

Yeah Kate,...We have a cool little market shop called the "Grocery Stretcher" run by relocated Mennenite's from down your area,....They turned me onto it.

Heck with it! Let's go ahead and "pour out" all of our pent-up rootbeer fantasie's and get it over with ... Lol [] I'll even lead the pack by saying a draft rootbeer like "A&W" is going to be hard to beat. I realize this is a bottle site and not a keg site ... but I really believe rootbeer was intended to best be enjoyed directly from the "Barrel." Question is; How many different walk-in rootbeer fountains are there around? I only know of two! ... an A&W from "anywhere," and "Mister D'z" on Route 66 in Kingman, Arizona. I honestly think they have developed a formula for rootbeer that truly embraces the romance of of the American Highway. "Mister D'z" makes their own rootbeer on a daily basis, and enthusiast like me will drive hundreds of miles just to enjoy some of their "home brew." I believe they sell it in bottles now, but do not know where to purchase it except in Kingman. The fine people of Kingman have pulled together and are making their town one of the most popular stops along old Route 66. It is a totally tourist friendly community and they sure have some great rootbeer ta'boot! Not to mention the town is halfway between The Grand Canyon and Las Vegas, which are two of the most colorful "playgrounds" in the west , and two of my favorite places. My vote definitely goes to ...

"Mister D'z Rootbeer"

Anyhoo ... I still plan on doing the taste test over the weekend, and will probably get so sick of rootbeer I will regret this whole thing. Oh well, ... it's like Paul Newman said in the movie "Cool Hand Luke" when he responded as to why he busted the heads off of parking meters with a baseball bat; he replied, "heck, it's just something to do!"

Thanks for stopping by - see ya in a day or less. []
