They've always done that root beer. Its one of the best out there. If you're a root beer fan, its got to be on your "must try" list. The others may be newer additions to the collection...
When I was a kid, there was an A&W around 55th and Ames that had the best Root Beer ever. You could get them in half gallon milk cartons. I have never tasted (what I remember as) Root Beer like that in 50 years.
I did get a Goose Island Root Beer yesterday (always... Since 1988?) and it was good (made with real cane sugar...)
I tried their Grape Soda somewhere a year or two ago and was / am hooked. There is no really good grape soda out there today but this one breaks that trend. Used to like a grape soda as a kid and this brings me right back there. The Root Beer is great too and is very old school.
Of all the places you might expect to find this around here most Menards sell it in four packs of glass bottles.

For the record NEBUGEATER does not equal BUGEATER !!!!!!!
Coyote wrote:Menard's? Never thought of looking for Root Beer there. They don't have Nebraska listed for retail locations.
{edit} I put an Omaha zip code in, and there are several places that carry this.
YEp, I would have guessed over 100 places before comming up with Menards. They must carry it becuase they are a norther based company and so is this. Menards carries most of the soda flavors.
I couldn't think where I first tried it before bit it was at Tomato Tomato, the indoor farmers market and they have it by the bottle. I happned to see it at Mendards after that and it is a better price than anywhere else I have seen.

I will have to try it. I love good root beer, but around here it seems like all you get is a root beer flavored soda. Even the A&W in the bottle tastes that way!
The best bottled root beers I remember were Boylan's and Mason's, but I haven't seen either in decades. They had a real beer-like foam, not the Coke/Pepsi type bubbles. I also like birch beer, but that's extremely rare around here.
As nebugeater suggested, I found Sprecher Root Beer at Menards (120th & W. Dodge). I talked to the Manager at my Bakers and they no longer carried it, but if I liked it he could get it for $6.50?
I found in at Menard's, on sale till the 24th, for $2.50, regularly $3.79. All of the Cream SOda was gone and they only had a few Grape Soda's left. When I checked out the lady told me that she thought it was the best Root Beer around. Can't wait to try it after dinner tonight.

Let us know!
Should have mentioned that they usually have singles in a cooler at the checkout so you could have gotten a "cold one" to go
