No high fructose corn syrup. It has good flavor nothing that unique. I like it more then their butterscotch root beer.
I’ve always been a Sprecher guy since it’s made pretty close to home and available, but this Hanks is real nice! Love the bite/carbonation and deeper flavor, almost a little smoky! Definitely going to start adding this to my regular rotation
It’s hockey night so that means it’s root beer time. Tonight’s choice is Dang’s! Butterscotch root beer. I was actually really excited to try this, but ended up being underwhelmed feeling middling about it. There’s nice carbonation with a slight bite, but all the root beer notes are overtaken by the butterscotch flavor. That flavor is good, but I wanted more complexity in the drink. I also found it made me just want a simple butterscotch beer. While I enjoyed this I don’t think I’d buy it again though.
Found these at a local convenience store. I will provide taste updates.
Can’t help but read it in an old time radio announcer voice
Weird question but any one know of any companies that sell 40oz bottles ?
Got these in the mail today (along with other non Root Beer craft sodas) I've only tried the Sioux City Sarsaparilla, I'm looking forward to these!
Has anyone heard of or remember this brand?
My local pizza place in Ishpeming Michigan used to have it on tap and it was the best thing ever.
They relatively recently switched to barqs or mug and it just isn't the same.
I miss my nostalgic, on tap, rootbeer
I just want to know how I can get it, or get some closer knowing I will never have it again
Got this at Albertsons today, has anyone had it before?
A very affordable and solid root beer. French vanilla enhances Summit quite nicely.
Not sure if it counts because it has other flavors but this was quite the treat. The butterscotch compliments the root beer flavor very well. Definitely getting more of these.

Give me all of your best recommendations!
SanTan brewery and Rocket Burger are on the list. CAL Ranch seems like it might have root beer?? Can anyone confirm?
What else is out there???
I have drank this ever since I was a kid!
Any recommendations on a low cal root beer or less sweetening?
I love root beer but I find I can’t just have one and before I know it the whole six pack is gone :(. Definitely adding some pounds.
Any recommendations for like good tasting but not super sweetened or high cal?
Edit: A bunch of great suggestions, thanks everyone :)…I’m definitely going to try to find diet barqs
Anyone ever tried it??
Anybody ever try this? I assume it’s a Christmas batch.
Is it a seasonal or limited time? Anyone in the know on this one?
Overall, pretty good. Perhaps too much licorice for my tastes.
Heard great things about it so I’ve got it chilling in the fridge right now.
Tell me the airports that have root beer! Mug/A&W/Barq’s don’t count for this one as they are generally readily available.
Here’s my list:
Salt Lake - I’ve found Stewart’s, Brigham’s Brew, and Jackson Hole Bucin’ Root Beer Houston (I think it was IAH?) - Hanks Nashville - Abita St Louis - Fitz’s
Surprisingly I can’t find any at the Denver airport.
Can’t find it anywhere
Passed by a local BevMo and was surprised to see they had a decent rootbeer selection. Never tried either but have seen others post these two. Thoughts? Which one should I try first?
Best I have had in a while!
