It’s one of those drinks I love but rarely have.
In fact this last week is the first I’ve had one since the summer of 2009. Yes, I remember, It was when I was invited to our neighbors home in NY. And I was served my absolute favorite brand of Root Beer. Stewart’s Root Beer to be exact. Wish they sold them out here.
Then last week while food shopping, it was as though the IBC Root Beer couldn’t get into my cart fast enough.
So last week became my official Root Beer week. While visiting my girlfriend, she served up a Shasta and then just the other day my Facebook friend in Germany mentioned having the treat of a Root Beer. Just the words Root Beer sent me to the kitchen to pop the top of a fresh bottle.
This morning, I was down to my very last bottle. And popped the top just because it seemed the thing to have on this beautiful Monday.
There was even a day over the weekend when I searched online the top brand names of Root Beer. I had no idea there were so many highly rated brands.
A&W was what we had at home back when I was a kid. Not often, but enough for me to remember exactly what all was involved in making our floats. I don’t dare go down that float path, it could be very dangerous.
And today, Mug’s Root Beer made its way into our home. I asked the question on Facebook “what’s your favorite Root Beer”? I got a lot of IBC replies. But one of my friends said “Mug’s”. So Mug’s it is this time around.
This week alone, I’ve tried the IBC, Shasta and today Mug Root Beer. And I have no clue which one is at the top. Perhaps it’s time for a line of Root Beer shots. Then again, after this next round, I think I’ll call it a day and let the Root Beer go away for a while. But I’m sure enjoying it while it lasts.
