Are There Any Fellow Rootbeer Fans Here?

[Jahulaye]

I just love this drink soo much. I've tasted th bundaberg brand and they used to serve it at mc d's, kfc or bk's at one point. Anyway, I've seen that they also sell certain brands on amazon but would much rather hit the high street and have them
Which rootbeetr do you like the best and which rootbeers do they sell at near you?

Tesco sells it.

Thanks vulcan, when I first googled .it said tesco doesn't sell them which is strange and it did say that waitrose sold 4x bundabergs for £2.46 yet at tesco theyt're selling it for £3.49, down from £4.50!

Think I'll have to try the 3 for a £ one which I'm going to hazard a guess is all sugar and chemicals but the virgils product description makes me wish there was a tesco open now.

"Using natural ingredients, we brew a root beer so pure, so rich and creamy, you'll swear it's made in heaven.
"Made Naturally, For The Root Beer Connoisseur"
Virgil's is a superb blend of spices and herbs gathered from the world over; anise, licorice, vanilla (bourbon), cinnamon, clove, wintergreen, sweet birch, molasses, nutmeg, pimento berry oil, balsam oil and cassia oil.
Originally brewed in the north of England, Virgil's is made with natural ingredients- nutmeg, imported anise, and wintergreen. The brewing process gives Virgil's a rich, creamy body and a taste so pure, you'll swear it's made in heaven."

I like root beer. First tasted in America in a root beer float at Disney. Last time I bought some it was in a pack of six tins at Asda, yum. Haven’t bought any for a while though. May have to go and see if they’ve still got it. Used to have one of those sweet shops on our high street that sold a lot of American imported stuff but they were selling the tins at round about £2 a tin!! No wonder it didn’t take off.

Yes, I do like them.
I prefer Barg's or A&W. Not sure if you can get them in the UK ?

[Jahulaye]

Look here cleodog, they have the drinks, the sweets and the jellies. If you try any leave a review here, likewise I SHALL too

I probably wouldn’t try the gummies because I looked and it doesn’t say veggie friendly. I don’t eat meat products anymore. Thanks anyway

Well thank you guys, keep the faith my fellow rooties.

The best root beer (if you can find it) is the alcoholic one from Sweden's Kopparberg brewery:

Wow, nearly midnight, I have a meeting with the battleaxe head of department tomorrow and my rose has finished so I'll bid you all a good peaceful night, though I'ts raining cats and dogs here.
Nite! xXx

Probably a stupid question, what sort of taste does it have.

[cleodog]

Smells of germolene and tastes wonderful!

[sapelesam]

Thanks cleodog, that made me giggle.
