Rexburg Root Beer Selection

I discovered one day while waiting on slow roommates that Broulim's has a rather extensive collection glass bottled root beers in their (oddly) alcohol section. Don't judge. They have a few options in their soda section, but  I was excited to discover many more. This review negates your aluminum canned and plastic bottled root beers, because everyone knows Root Beer is best in glass bottled. I tried all available options except the diet root beers and the one with green tea in it. That's just wrong. So here you have them, rated on a scale from 1 to 10. And remember, all root beer is best enjoyed cold.

Henry Weinhard’s (9) Smooth and classy taste, excellent foam.  

IBC (8.9) Classic Root Beer taste, with a little bit of bite. HW is my favorite, but I OD’d, so IBC is a good second.

Sprecher (7) Good taste but kind of flat. Overall a good, albeit unremarkable Root Beer

Virgil’s (6.5) Slight licorice flavor, dry foam

Boylan (6) It has a very sweet flavor to it. Not bad, but nothing special

Thomas Kemper’s (6) It has a honey flavor – you get used to it, but it throws you off at first (find at Wal-mart)

Stewart’s (5.5) Nothing special, but worthwhile if a Root Beer is needed

Sioux City (5) It has a good aftertaste, but the beginning taste was meh…

Buckin’ Root Beer (4) Tastes like Root Beer flavored Popsicle or bottle cap candies.

Frostie (3) It has a kind of weak root beer taste.

Natural Brew (2) It has a bitter licorice flavor. I didn’t like it.
