If you've experienced good root beer, you probably can't stand the bland national chain stuff they sell at the national chain grocery stores. I recently dropped by Galco's Soda Pop Stop here in Los Angeles and tried a bunch of different root beer varieties recommended by the owner. Americana was my favorite, probably because of the "cream style" which may keep me out of the True Root Beer Lovers Club[TM], but so be it.

I also enjoyed my dad's favorite which was from his childhood: Frostie Root Beer.

That said, I still have a lot of root beer to try, what with the 41 flavors offered at the Soda Pop Stop. (via Soda Pop Stop)

I love a good craft root beer. Take that, A&W.
