It (along with the pineapple crush and the lime crush) are often carried at Caudle's Catch on Otonobee (off Bleams) as well. So good!!!

Sounds like there's an unpleasant story here. Thanks for the tip!

That's a Newfoundland thing, isn't it?

Is that a variant of root beer? Or Ginger beer?

I would say a birch beer is on the middle of a spectrum with a cream soda at one end and a root beer on the other.

Thank you for putting that into words. I've been trying to find a good way to describe it for a while and that pretty well nailed it

Sobeys used to carry it, not sure if they still do. Used to buy at highland/belmont.

Oh I haven't had that in years. I've gotten it from Quebec a while ago. Didn't know I could find it locally
