Have not, would seem interesting to try.

Being so close to Philly and yet so far our only grocery options are food lion, wally world and savealot.

And our drives are either 30-1.30 minutes away.

I love Bundy (the drink, not the freak) so much I'd happily drink a bathtub full of the stuff.

Not tried the root beer they do, but their Ginger Beer is not of this world. It is absolutely, and without question, one of the greatest soft drinks I've ever tasted. I'd sell my organs for a slab of the stuff it's that good.

Also try their Lemon and Lime Bitters they do. I've broken down in tears of sheer unbridled joy at the tasty elixir I'm about to consume whence merely taking a bottle off the refrigerator shelf.

They do other flavours too but I've not had the sheer majestic regal opportunity of being able to try them yet.

That ginger beer though....Good God....

I had once... first trip to Sydney.

Didn't know what root beer was.

Since it has beer in it, I though it was... you know... beer made from roots.

What a disappointment it was!!

I remember the first time I had root beer.

My initial reaction was "this smells like Listerine!"

What I find strange is that I can't detect that smell anymore.

Is Aussie beer made from Sarsaparilla root or the Sassafras root?
Love the ancient healer GINGER ROOT above all root children of the earth !
(Very strong though !)

There is nothing under the sun like a good cold root beer !
FAV DOMESTIC BRAND - MUG ROOT BEER .........

Cheers

Don't drink it very often but yeah I've had all kinds of root and ginger beer over the years.
Haven't touched any alcoholic beer for over 20 years now. Don't miss it at all tbh, but I do miss Irish whiskey.
