Is this ginger beer? is this something else...
Is it any good? I don't drink very often I get a six pack of beer maybe once every 6-12 months and it will last me a month or so. I am not a beer sob but have not been a fan of "Malt flavored beverages" since I was a teenager. Is this Alcoholic root beer just a flavored malt beverage? Is it something else? Is it a waste of money. I like IPA's, stout's, shandy's, lager's, you know beer, but mostly drink whatever catches my eye by way of advertising. I am a sucker for advertising. |

Tried not your father's root beer and liked it initially; after drinking it more I find it too be too sweet.
I also tried Coney Island Root Beer and didn't like it. More recent on I tried is Best Damn Root Beer and so far it is the best, not as sweet as Not your Fathers. |

I don't like beer. An alcoholic root beer was offered so I gave it a try because she said it was good. It tasted *exactly* like root beer to me. I don't recall what brand it was. I also do not drink soda but on rare occasions and I like root beer....but even then I will only drink Diet root beer.

I brought some over to my boss's house for the Superbowl. They weren't bad, but I am not much of a drinker. My other boss loves girly drinks and liked them, so I joked with him that we found something he likes that we won't make fun of him about.
My impression is that if you like beer then you are probably going to hate them, but if you are not much of a beer drinker then you might like them. |

Very few people like more than one of the larger styles on the market. Row Hard root beer was the first on the scene here locally but was too thick and had consistency issues so they are hardly ever even seen anymore. Not Your Father's outsells Coney Island about 4 to 1 and Best Damn doesn't even have enough followers to bother carrying it.
They all suffer tremendously when not served ice cold. |
