> [@Shark](#): > > Dog 'n Suds rootbeer. Why yes, I do live in a time warp, but at least the rootbeer is good here. I’ve seen Dog 'n Suds in bottles at the Dollar Tree. And there actually are a few of the drive ins remaining. I was at the one in [Muskegon, MI](http://s211.photobucket.com/user/pkbites/media/DognSuds.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0) 2 summers ago and there is one right across the border in Richmond, down in the Flatlands. > [@bunyupp](#): > > It uses egg in the recipe and you can only drink it there, you can’t get it to go. But it is amazingly good:) I had that a couple of years ago. I thought it was decent but my wife wouldn’t drink it because drinking eggs is gross. :rolleyes: ---

I really like Natural Brew. Nice strong wintergreen notes to it. ---

> [@RobDog](#): > > …Any fellow Brits I’ve tried to introduce to the delights of root beer have described it as tasting of Germoline (a livid pink antiseptic cream which I think is a peculiarly British thing). Germoline is scented with oil of Wintergreen, so maybe that resembles a common root beer ingredient. > [@August\_West](#): > > I really like Natural Brew. Nice strong wintergreen notes to it. AHA! It’s as I suspected. Thank you. ---

I did not know that! It happens that I will be in Muskegon next Thursday. I will definitely have to check it out. To everybody: I now have a shopping list of root beers I have never tried. There goes my beverage budget for the month. ---

Some of you may also be interested in [Root](https://www.artintheage.com/our-spirits/root/) - an alcoholic spirit infused with traditional root beer flavorings. I found it made an interesting addition to a Manhattan when used sparingly. ---
