8: Days 7 Jul 2013 | 02:16 am
Or to give it it’s full name ‘Day’s Old Fashioned Root Beer – since 1946′. Of course, such claims seem to be prevalent in the Rootbeer world so it’s not necessarily a guarantee of anything unless you ...
7: Diet Barq’s 30 Jun 2013 | 01:21 am
It’s been a few years, but my rootbeer supplier recently had a bit of a sale, and by the time I got around to checking, they only had Diet left. So it seemed a good opportunity to step back in and to ...
