Party Down is one of the best little known shows to have existed, and it had such an amazing cast!

Funny I had the exact same thoughts on frostee.

I also prefer IBC (their black cherry soda is pretty tasty too) as the most accessible brand but if I can get my hands on it my favorite is from red hare brewing company. Unfortunately I think they may not exist any more.

Agreed the HFCS aren’t worth it, might as well have a coke.

What is your preferred?

I could definitely be wrong about the gender divide, its just something I’ve noticed in my own life.

I’m an avid root beed drinker and I wish I could agree the HFCS v cane was the defining difference between good and bad root beer I find there are still some that use cane sugar and are still not great. These are on whole better than any of the HFCS ones but still not created equal. Unfortunately I’m not sure what it is that makes the big difference, but I do find smaller batch companies that do still use other root oils and extracts to be the best. You may also be able to find birch beer in the EU and I find that more akin to OG rootbeer flavors.

Also a note on OP’s family experience, I find in America the devide on people who like it and don’t also seems to fall along gender lines. I can think of maybe 4 women in my life that can even stand the taste of root beer.
