Root Beer

[DivideBYZero]

EDIT: Due to no-one reading this OP I have bolded the very important part. NB: I HAVE ONLY THESE TWO CHOICES. - Thanks!

I love root beer, but it's not available in most Supermarkets in the UK.

I have found a place online where I can get it (yes, in bulk if need be) so help me decide.

Choice is:

- A&W
- Barqs

Bear in mind I enjoy the generic Publix brand, so I don't need any gormet crap, just good ordinary root beer.

IBC FTW

I absolutely hate Barqs. Anything but that!

siux city sarsaparilla!

Yeah, OK. IBC isn't an option. As I said, I only have the choices listed.

1919 or Sprecher FTW

I like Barq's. A&W is good, but only "from the tap".

 

[mundane]

Brew your own

 

[SWScorch]

Saranac!!!

Err, I mean... shoot man... that's like asking a Guinness drinker to choose between Keystone or Genny. Uhhh, Barq's, cause it has bite.

well. those choices suck.

Of those two -- A&W

 

[DaveSimmons]

If you like Coke, Barqs -- stronger taste, "the one with bite" just like they say.

If you like Pepsi, A&W -- sweeter, smoother, nibble-free.

I don't like root beer but I do enjoy pie!

 

[KeithTalent]

Pie FTW...A&W would be my second choice, then Barqs.

 

[BZeto]

Barq's

 

[50cent1228]

no root beer in the uk...wow that must suck

 

[jwebj]

Barq's has caffeine, A&W does not.
Barq's for me.

 

[Tom]

they're both great. I would say A&W is slightly more mellow and creamy.

flawed.

I am a Coke devotee, and between those choices, prefer A&W for the overall flavor. however, neither have anything on IBC. mmm I enjoy the 40's of IBC for $1. 🙂

 

[BurnItDwn]

I don't care too much for Barqs.
A&W is better IMO.

Ever have real A&W at one of their restaurants ? They make it on premises and it's the best root beer there is.

 

[Aikouka]

A&W, Barqs has a weird tang to it.

If I had the choice, I'd probably push Mug.

 

[Apathetic]

I prefer A&W, but both are really good.
