Soothing Beverage for the Traveler We all know that I’m a big fan of root beers, but I’m also a bit of a fan of ginger beers (well… depending.) Much like root beers, ginger beers come in a wide variety of styles, from traditionally Jamaican, spicy and infused with ginger, to the more westernized style that seems to be gently flavored carbonated water. I have never heard of a ginger root beer, so I’m not sure if Anchor Ginger Root Beer is going to be a combination of those two distinct flavors, or simply a ginger beer. Yarr, Scallywags! Drop…

If you haven’t heard of Frostie, I completely understand. Around here, it’s known for being a traditional root beer with a long history.

Apologies for the small break, but I hope to get started on a more productive schedule soon. IBC is considered a classic brew. This is the type of root beer you see all over the place. Hopefully for good reason. Despite the fact that I’ve heard, and seen this one all over, I don’t think I’ve actually taken the time to really taste it.
