My kids and I like root beer. But all root beer is not equal. Good root beer is a flavor party. Bad root beer can be truly gross. My kids have quite discerning tastebuds (which they get from their mother, not me). The Root Beer Project started in Saratoga Springs, NY, but it’s roots are a couple of years ago in New Orleans where I re-discovered good root beer (thank you, Abita Brewing Co. ). Living in NOLA, my kids and I tasted and rated beignets and donuts , but we needed a new project in upstate NY. T
The ratings below are a collective assessment among me, my son (age 10), and my daughter (age 12). It’s entirely subjective. We have no expertise. Our rating process is simple: Step 1: Open a bottle of our favorite (or at least one we have rated highly when trying new things on the road); Step 2: Open a bottle of a new root beer; Step 3: Drink and compare. Eventually, we will try making our own root beer… but that’s a separate project. Much harder than just drinking it.
