    So far I’ve tried A&W, Mug, Dr Browns, Tropical sun, Hatridges, Carters, Bundaberg, Virgil’s & Dad’s.

    My favourites are A&W, Bundaberg, Mug & Dr Browns.

    How about you?
     
  2. My favorites are between A&W and Mug. c:

    A&W, Barq's and Mug are my favorites. Kroger Big K is alright in a pinch

    I haven't had a Faygo in years. Loved their Redpop, but stores near me quit carrying it a long time ago.

    Yeah, I love in Germany so it's like close to 100€ for a 10 pack of cans with shipping fees. Totally not worth it, but at the same time totally worth it. Faygo has the best flavours, just the high fructose content it's not very good for you at all.

    My favs were Rock n Rye and Black Cherry.

    The unpopular band insane Clown Posse tend to squirt over 400 bottles of faygo over the crowd during a concert, so I have so tasted faygo Cola hehe

    Oh man, when I was a kid, my grandma used to take me to this drive-up hot dog stand back at home and they would come out (like Sonic) with our order of chili dogs and A&W root beer in a frosty mug! Man, I miss those days!

    Man, I totally forgot about Rock n Rye! That was good, too.

    Used to drink a lot of Faygo and Shasta as a kid. I'm 48 now. Not even sure they still make Shasta.

    No way man, a good root beer is far superior to a poor one.

    A&W has wintergreen as an ingredient. Most others do not. I can definitely tell the difference between A&W and others.

    St Arnold Root Beer from a craft brewery in Houston. Best root beer ever!

    https://www.amazon.com/Saint-Arnold-Fashioned-Root-Beer/dp/B07JHWHSPN

    From the St Arnold Website...

    Big, sweet, flavorful and old-fashioned!

    Saint Arnold Root Beer is made with Imperial Cane Sugar (absolutely no high fructose corn syrup) and lots of yummy (but secret) flavorings. The cane sugar gives it a sweetness and mouthfeel that cannot be achieved through corn syrup. The flavors explode in your mouth. The only way to improve on our Root Beer is to add a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
