The Ultimate Discussion, Part II

This question is almost as divisive: What's the best root beer brand out there?

(Yes, the discussion title is a contradiction.)

I'd second that, but I'm really not enough of a root beer connoisseur to make a definitive statement.

Like Beer/ale/etc there are way tooo many local brewed rootbeers for any one to be considered the best . As a National brand A&W is a better product than say Budweiser but that's not saying much. my present favorite is Maine Root

Barq's here. Other national brands seem weak beside it. I suppose I wouldn't drink Dad's even if I still lived in Chicago but I still have fond memories.

A & W, but I'm not a huge root beer drinker anyway.

Jones. All arguements to the contrary are futile. You vill like zee Jones! (Pretty good cream soda, too.)

Root beer aside: What the hell is it with brands using "real cane sugar"? In root beer, it sucks, okay? They use corn syrup in other soda for a reason.

Agreed. HFCS is the devil.
