Anyone had this before? How was it? I heard someone talking about it today, and we can't get it around here in Arkansas anywhere that I can find. Anyone able to get it locally?

It taste just like root beer. Very sweet. For me it don't work because I cant drink more than 2 root beers without getting sick of the sweet taste. But if you like root beer than that's what this is. No detection of alcohol at all (which is the other thing I don't like about it).

I will say this if you are drinking a lot of something else I would not switch to the root beer. I did this and my stomach felt like I got punched.
I used to sit outside all night and drink bud lite and smoke Marlboros and everyone thought I was a bum. Now I sit outside all night and drink craft beers and smoke cigars and everyone thinks I have class.

I just bought a six pack last weekend and enjoyed everyone of them.  I am a huge fan of root beer itself and this was really good.

I liked them when I tried them. They run about $11 a six pack here. To me the colder they are the better they are. When they get warm I start to get the beer taste sneaking in.  The local B&M keeps in in a 35ºF beer cooler and serves it over ice and it's pretty good that way.
You should hurry up and acquire the cigar habit. It's one of the major happiness's. And so much more lasting than love, so much less costly in emotional wear and tear.
Aldous Huxley

Maybe it's like becoming one with the cigar. You lose yourself in it; everything fades away: your worries, your problems, your thoughts. They fade into the smoke, and the cigar and you are at peace.

Awesome stuff, made here in Sconnie so I can usually get my hands on it.
Over ice is the best. And it goes great with a good smoke :thumbsup:

I'll second Kent. Made locally (almost as locally for me as for Kent, though I'm in MN) and good to the last drop. I can't drink it with a cigar, because I find that it overpowers the flavor in my mouth, but it's very good root beer (that just happens to be alcoholic). I've gone through a couple of six packs myself, and find it marvelous.

I was told last night by a friend in the beer bottling industry that they'd just been bought out by a macrobrewery - which, while somewhat concerning, means that you can now find their brews all over the place. :P

They aren't here in Utah yet either. Sounds like some really good stuff though.

Heard about it and saw it was being served at a Red Robins in Jersey, couldn't pass up the opportunity to try it. Great Root Beer as I'm a lover of Root Beer, would love to try one with a cigar some day but unfortunately its not sold in my neck of the woods.   :-(  :-(  :-(

I'm not big on the beer flavor, so I think this might be my route. I do love root beer though, and think this would be good with a smoke. Looking forward to giving it a try!

I had one last weekend - and although I love root beer - it tasted like rubbing alcohol to me, so I won't be drinking any more of them.

I've been drinking the crap outa this stuff for months. I pay about $9.50 per six-pack, have seen it anywhere from $8.99 on sale to $12. Got another root beer-beer from a friend to try today. Coney Island Hard Root Beer. Haven't tried it yet, but If it tastes anything like root beer I'm sure I'll like it.


We should plan a "Not Your Fathers My Fathers" herf.

Only My Fathers cigars, and Not Your Father's Root Beer.
Roll Tide!
