Root Beer Taste Test

I thought this was a fascinating article. The New York Times wine critics did a Root Beer taste test! One of my favorite parts was their tasting report: "Plays well with ice cream." The only one on their list that I'd ever heard of was IBC, which came in at number 2 (they tried 25 different brands total and ranked their top ten). Apparently these brands are "generally available in good retail shops and on the Internet." Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

SMITH FAMILY ROOT BEER TASTE TEST!!!

One of them is at least available at Whole Foods. Let's see what else we can get!

#1 was Sprecher brand, from Glendale, Wis.

"Spicy with well-integrated flavors, soft carbonation and a creamy texture. Sweeteners: High-fructose corn syrup, honey."

just what we all need: more high-fructose corn syrup in our diet. What about organic root beer?

I assume the Whole Foods root beer is organic. SO THERE!
