The hunt for the world's greatest Root Beer...Definitive Rankings

Wooden cask and bricks

For the better part of the past two months I've embarked on a journey and many of you have tagged along and joined in on the fun already. For that I thank you! This journey has been arduous, it's a pain staking passion project that I have taken on for the betterment of society as a whole. It's been tough, but as they say, somebody has to do it.

Right now I am in the midst of a hunt to find the world's best root beer!

You see, I don't drink, but there's something about the art and nuance of craft brewing that appeals to me. I think it's really cool that there are so many little start ups that are jumping into a mega industry by differentiating their product, infusing unique flavors into their beers and approaching the art differently than the status quo. I've come to discover, that there is also a craft soda scene that is booming and that scene is headlined by root beer and hundreds of different kinds.

Hence, my journey. I like root beer and have learned the differences and subtleties that are highlighted in different brands, so I'm out to find the best! Obviously, this is subjective but I do think that generally speaking the tops of my list are the one's that would be most accepted by the wider audience.

This is an ongoing list and as I continue to find more and more new varieties at my go to shops (Blue Sun Soda Shop in Spring Lake Park, MN & MN Largest Candy Store in Jordan, MN) I'll continue to add to my rankings on Twitter and then update this list periodically as well.

So here is my running list ofhttps://twitter.com/AjKFAN/status/1168570261282668545 root beers in order...click the link through to see notes on each root beer and photos of the bottles.
