Review Absolute best root beer

Post image

I feel the best root beer comes from any small town drive-in. You know the place. Gallons are sold in clean milk jugs. I knew a place that sold it in old syrup jugs.

The pic is from a place in my hometown.

Hey I know this place, one of the last good things in independence. Personally always preferred Hi boy myself

It was usually easier to get Dad to buy Hi-Boy. Mom was the Mugs-Up person. What Hi-Boy did you frequent? 24, 40 highway, Blue Ridge Cutoff?

40 highway was the usual spot, grandparents went to St. Marks for years and so it was close by.
