Sioux City is known for its incredibly sweet, minty birch beer. It’s a solid reddish amber drink, and I’m a big fan. However, birch beer isn’t root beer, and I’m not reviewing that. Today, I’m giving Sioux City Root Beer a chance, and I’m really excited to sink my taste buds into this brew, especially after the last one. Old West Brew Sioux City is a totally stout root beer. It’s dark and wide, and looks like it has a bite to it. The bottle is embossed with the Sioux City name. The label is colored in muted blue and…

It makes sense that being in the Midwest, and this being a Chicago brew, I would see WBC around a lot. That’s been part of the reason I’ve been skipping it for the past few reviews.

Rooty-toot-toot, and thanks for scooting over! Stewart’s calls itself a Fountain Classic. Talk about conveying the imagery of a cold and frothy mug of crisp root beer. Well, I’m not reviewing Mug right now, so I’ll have to make do with this bottle of Stewart’s. Let’s not be confused though, this is the Original Stewart’s we’re talking about. Rooty-tooty-point-and-what? Stewart’s has decided to go with the classic dark bottle design. Imbued with a raised Stewart’s logo, their bottle is definitely fitting. The real seller though, is the Stewart’s logo plastered to the front. The barrel-like mug really pulls you in,…
