Faygo

The long awaited Faygo bottled root beer. This is a real treat for me. I know that Faygo has a long running history, especially as an alternative (and vastly more affordable) to traditional brands. It’s been a pretty prominent part of my childhood. However, I’ve never had a chance to really get my hands on a bottled version of any of their pop, let alone root beer. Given that they have an endless supply of flavors, and notoriety (Faygo is a huge deal around these parts,) I’m hoping that this is a really enjoyable experience. Made in Detroit, Michigan It’s…

Jones

Jones Soda Co. has recently been doing a big Made in Michigan campaign, which has definitely caught my eye; despite the company being from Seattle.

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…

Frostie

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. Right on the cap, instead of some type of marketing tagline, you’ll find Since 1939. That should say enough, apparently. In any case, I haven’t had Frostie in a very long time—to the point that I can’t even remember how it tastes. I’m hoping it really surprises me, and brings me back down memory lane. Since 1939: Frostie Isn’t Messing Around Frostie looks pretty traditional, although I have to give them credit for the attractive and modernized…
