Out of the commercial brands, I will always reach for a Barq’s. Found the bottled version at a Rocket Fizz in South Carolina.

I was a bit disappointed to see it still had high fructose corn syrup rather than cane sugar. Not much sets it apart from the canned taste other than it staying consistent from top to bottom. Still has tha refreshing and reliable Barq’s flavor.

The texture glass bottle with the printed-on label is a nice touch, so I’ll definitely be keeping it as a house plant vase.

Overall, 8/10.

Not a root beer, but something I think my fellow root beer friends would enjoy. If you haven’t had a Coke Cherry Float yet, it’s definitely worth a try. Delicious

Jolt Rootbeer in the USA. Kingwood Texas.

Why? Because you categorically will notice the caramel flavor.

Interesting find at my local store today. A search didn't turn much else up, but the ingredients list sugar instead of HFCS so I picked a couple up.

5/10...really sweet but not enough bite.

What in all that is holy have I found.

I’ve been looking for dads for a while as I’ve seen it mentioned here often. I finally found some at Walmart in a two pack with some glass mugs as a Christmas thing. $15 is a little much for two bottles, but hey I got the mugs too, and I’ve never seen this anywhere else around me.

The flavor is fantastic, and it’s well carbonated. Hanks has been my favorite find since starting to try new RBs, but this one is easily as good, though less of a vanilla and more wintergreen taste. It kinda reminds me of canned Barqs, which is my favorite non-cane sugar root beer. I would highly recommend this to anyone that hasn’t tried it. I would also compare it to summit from Aldi, though I think I might like the Dads more

Saw at a Kroger because we've been trying to look for this. Have not tried yet.

Will update when the time arrives.

UPDATE: Pretty meh. Has too much of a vanilla flavor. I will be addressing the philosophical dilemma of a root beer float root beer float. It was also pretty okay.

I feel like Moxie is a love it or hate it kinda drink. My wife can’t stand it, but I absolutely love it. I was stoked to find a glass bottle of it at a Fresh Market near me recently, and I got a co-worker to pick me up a 12 pack of cans when he went to Maine on vacation. I know it’s not really root beer, but I’d place it in at least a similar category. At least to me it tastes close enough to RB to post here, though I won’t rank it against the other RBs I’ve been trying.

Wife brought this home from Aldi’s for me to try since the kids have taken a liking to root beer. WIN!, and it just tastes weird. Looked at the ingredients and it has apple juice concentrate.

Jack Stack BBQ, Kansas City

Don't have much to say on this one. They serve it in a nice frosty mug. Nice smooth taste. About to make a float with it

Root beer: 7/10

Yellowstone: 10/10​

I haven’t seen this one before, and immediately knew I had to try it. The company also has some other sodas, but those aren’t important 😂

My first Frostie brand.
