Abita Rootbeer is welcomed to the Top Shelf

While the Sultan has not been dethroned, there is now a rightful heir. Abita Rootbeer http://www.abita.com/brew/rootbeer.html is an awesome rootbeer brewed in the pines surrounding New Orleans. For those of you looking for a sophisticated beverage that is right between a bitter sarsaparilla and a high end rootbeer, Abita is your selection. Taste has a small bite, but the aftertaste is not overwhelming. Great selection for any occasion and comes highly recommended. I may have to do a taste test in a few months with Snake River.

There are a couple other entries to this weeks post. Benet's Big Bear Rootbeer is a great selection. It is made with real sugar cane, was not too sweet, has no caffeine, and has the lowest caloric content of any of the rootbeers tasted. Good for those New Years Resolutions. http://root-beer.blogspot.com/2006/05/big-bear-big-taste.html

Lastly, XXX Rootbeer was tasted and placed on the bottom shelf. Nothing inherently wrong with the rootbeer, but it tasked a bit commercial, like a Mug or standard A&W. On the website it looks like a great eatery, but I'm afraid this is a working mans rootbeer and really nothing special.

where do you find these? Of course our little grocery store had none of it (I didn't expect it), but AJ said I may have to go to a liquor store to get the fancies. Is that where you get yours?

I am going to try to get to BevMo so I can try out the Snake River for Bryan's birthday celebration. Is that worthy of a 30th birthday?
