In my opinion, IBC is the highest consistent quality mass produced root beer on the market.  While I’m not a fan of high fructose corn syrup, it seems that HFCS is the only sweetener used by soft drink makers when the bottling process is contracted out.  IBC is the one case where I will accept HFCS on a regular basis!  I much prefer IBC in the 12 oz. brown glass bottles they usually come in, but I stumbled across a case of 16 oz. cans for 23 cents each.  Needless to say, I think you know what happened.

Crisp and biting, IBC is pretty heavily carbonated and best consumed cold with bits of ice in it from being chilled to close to freezing.  This root beer has a strong up front sassafras flavor, with little detectable other root flavors.

Yeah, so, welcome!  Look, I’m not the best writer or anything, but I really like Root Beer.  In fact, it’s pretty much the only soft drink I consume.  A buddy of mine runs a daily beer review site (www.daily-beer.com), so I stole the idea from him.  Unfortunately, there are significantly less Root Beers out there to sample…

So, enjoy, chat, try some of the Root Beers and feel free to send me some!
