Am I the only one who has noticed that Barq’s is the only root beer listed that has caffine in it? Anyway, I say ditch the Barq’s and A&W, and go for Stewarts and Henry Wienharts. That is unless you find a small joint that makes it themselves.
First off: IBC, period, exclamation mark. I will buy Barq’s on sale. I will drink A&W at my parents. But, I will pay full price for IBC.
Second: Question: Navigator’s original ranking was:
and then he said
Shouldn’t that be either “Barq’s comes off…Hires goes on…” or
“Barq’s comes off…Dad’s moves to fourth place…Hires goes on…” (depending if Nav’s putting Hires in third or fourth place)?

Does Ramblin’ still exist?
Given the choices, I’d go with A&W.

Is Dad’s still available anywhere? Haven’t seen it in years.
Yeah, and I remember Frosty, too. From Cleveland in the 1960s. Wasn’t the logo some kind of elfin guy with a frozen beard, Santa hat, and icicles hanging from his nose?
Speaking of logos, I’d LOVE to see the Dad’s logo again. That guy kinda reminded me of Ernie Kovacs. Think I’ll go do a web-search…

Okay…checked the Root Beer Page. Dad’s is still around (with a spanking-new logo…Ernie is looong gone), and seems to originate in Georgia or Ontario or both.
Frostie is also still around; they’re based in Idaho.

IBC is the best.
But I’ll drink a Barq’s if it’s in front of me.
Truth be told, I like ROOT beer better than regular beer.
You say “cheesy” like that’s a BAD thing.
The only place that I see Dad’s Root Beer anymore is at Costco.
How could I charge full price to the man whose lust for filthy magazines kept me in business through that first shaky year. Oh, by the way, here’s your new issue of “Gigantic Asses.”
