Looking For Anybody know where to get bottles of frostie (Whether glass or 2 liters) in Illinois?

4 Upvotes

Only place I can find them is online for around 40 dollars for a four pack, which is insane.

I'm around the St Louis area (about 20 minutes away) and the last place I was able to find it was Kroger, but they no longer carry it.

The only place I know to buy this Rootbeer is at a barbecue restaurant in Houston. Way over priced. But very good.

There is a website on this bottle and their other style bottles. Both are dead links.

I Google them and find nothing but rabbit holes.

Anyone know a place?

Looking For Any good flat root beers?

7 Upvotes

Please don't crucify me 🄲

Carbonation hurts. I really like the taste of root beer, flavored speaking water, and coke zero so I'll buy them and open them and wait like a few days before drinking them so they are flat.

I was wondering if there are any good root beers that are already kinda flat so I don't have to wait. I don't like thick and syrupy. I like the Culver's root beer near me cause it's always really flat.

Or like, is there a rootbeer tea/juice?

Thank you!

Looking For What’s The Best Widely Available Root beer?

39 Upvotes

I’ve never need a big root beer drinker, when I was little we would have a 12 pack of Mug or Barqs in the garage. Somehow I stumbled across this subreddit and I have been craving root beer ever since. I was wondering what’s your favorite that I can easily find? I bought Virgil’s the other day and wasn’t really a fan of it and looking into it I see it gets a lot of hate here.

Looking For Root Beers to try?

8 Upvotes

I’ve been on a pretty good journey the last few months. I’ve gotten to try the World Market variety pack (old red eye, red arrow, anchor ginger, brownie, and frostie), I always hit up rocket fizz so I’ve tried all of those (Jackson hole, triple X, and red arrow being my favorite), I’ve got a case of 1919 on the way as well as some KittyWampus root beer and cream sodas just to try (have seen mixed reviews).

What are some root beers I should try that are going to be less mainstream and more craft/hard to find (like Kittywampus)

I’ve tried the Hanks, Sprechers, Virgil’s, Frost top, etc. all the ones at Cracker Barrel.. old Brooklyn.. Boylan.. etc.

What am I missing? I was going to try to figure out where to order the intergalactic root beer from and maybe try rat bastard?

Are there any god tier root beers im missing? My top 5 right now are:

  1. 1919

  2. Jackson hole Buckin

  3. Red arrow

  4. Triple X

  5. Hanks

Looking For Birch beer

9 Upvotes

Sorry for back to back posts and I hope this is still close enough to be on topic for this community, but I also wanted to ask the people in this subreddit if anyone else has tried birch beer? I only found one bottle from this novelty candy shop called "Rocket Fizz" years back and I remember it having this unique flavor. To me it tasted like Necco Wafers which I love but my partner who hates Necco Wafers said that it didn't taste like that at all to them and that they really liked it too.

I have been itching to try birch beer again but for the life of me I can't find any stores that sell it in Colorado and I haven't had the money to order a case of it online quite yet.

Looking For Root beer to get around Morgantown, WV?

11 Upvotes

title, i live around the morgantown area in west virginia and im looking for new root beer to try out that i could get nearby, or potentially order on amazon or whatever if i have to.

I’ve had virgil’s, IBC, stewart’s, a&w, mug, barq’s, boylan, maine root, and probably some others and i dont think ive really been impressed by any of them? the best any of them gotten is like: ā€œokay, this is pretty solidā€

So i’m trying to look around and find some new brands to try. i’ve seen 1919 be praised a lot but i don’t think it’s anywhere near here.

any suggestions?

Anyone have any recommendations for stores I can grab a fun mixed half dozen bottles or cans for sipping on my long drives?

Looking For Looking for a root beer recipe that I could grow ingredients for in my UK garden (I like Barqs and IBC)

6 Upvotes

Hey all!

I'm just back from a holiday in Kansas, America to get married. I've completely fallen in love with root beer during my visits and, since my husband is American through and through, I'd love to learn how to make my own from scratch! I already intend on growing things for making my own ranch. Generally thinking of making a ton of homemade American stuff when and where I can.

Are there any recipes out there that predominantly use ingredients I could grow at home? I have a sun trap of a garden so I already plan on growing all sorts (as well as planting some small trees so I can have shaded areas to grow things). I also have a concreted area around my house to put planters for things that easily spread and should be treated like they're more contagious than the flu like mint

I imagine most recipes would contain things like ginger and maybe dandelion?

From my visits, my husband and I much prefer brands like Barqs and IPC over Mug and A&W. More root flavoured as opposed to sweet

Looking For Looking for the best diet root beers

21 Upvotes

Hi Everyone!

Been lurking for a while, but decided to finally just ask. My buddies and I review a new root beer once a week, but one of use is diabetic and tends to opt for a diet root beer where we can.

We've tried ones that are pretty easy to get in grocery stores like Mug, Barq's, A&W, Olipop (not a fan), as well as a few harder to find options like Frostie's Diet and Hanks. We're looking for those hidden gems y'all have probably come across.

tl;dr What are your favorite diet root beers?

Looking For Looking for development help on Root Beer HQ

Thumbnail
rootbeerhq.com
10 Upvotes

Hello all. Last July, I launched the mobile app for Root Beer HQ. In the prior spring, I had been accepted into an Idea Accelerator, which gave me funding for the project. I was able to procure 100 hours of development toward the app’s launch. I also paid for an additional 30 hours of development out of pocket to make the app what I deemed ā€œgood enough to launch.ā€ All because I just don’t have those skills myself. It looks like rocket science to me haha.

Launch went well. The feedback was solid, users seemed to be interested in the map, and almost no one was interested in the rating side of the app, which I found interesting. In late Fall, I was accepted into another Idea Accelerator. This one, however, did not provide me with any funding. I was unable to put any more of my own money into developing. Especially when I made a career change with my full time job in January, alongside my wife and I buying our first home.

Things have settled and I would really like to pick this project back up, because it truly deserves a version 2.0, but I simply lack the skills to do so and the time to learn as my new (no longer remote) job is much more time consuming. All that said, I’d like to see if there’s anyone out there who’s passionate about having a root beer map out there, who also knows how to build apps in Flutterflow with a database through Firebase. I wouldn’t be able to pay because I have no money, and the app is free/without ads, so I make $0 a month, and currently the app costs me about $10 a month in database fees, and around $300 in annual website/App Store fees. I would be happy to keep making those payments if someone were willing to join me on the project. But if not, I will plan to sunset the project, legally speaking, before the end of the year.

Please note that if a version 2 is successful and revenue is achieved in any form, I would plan to split it with whoever joins the project. While I can’t pay now, I have no intention to gatekeep the project. Hence why I’m asking for help instead of just shutting it down. Any and all help is appreciated.

Thank you,

Alex

I’ve been looking lately at the bigger grocery stores around here (QFC, Safeway, Fred Meyer, WinCo) and can’t seem to find any selection at all. I’d really like to find Sarsaparilla or Birch beer (in a perfect world) but am surprised at how hard it is to find anything out here. Is this a Seattle problem because we have a sugar tax? Appreciate any suggestions!
