    Just had a "Not your fathers" ginger ale beer.......I thought it was gonna be very sweet because their root beer is. It was very good. Not too sweet at all. If you like ginger ale, you'll love this!!!

    Yeah, that one is rediculously sweet. I think the other one I had was Best Damn Root Beer. Ws a lot better than NYF.

    I actually like NYFRB.....it is sweet though, that I'll completely agree........if you like the hard root beer and you think NYFRB to too sweet for your palate.......try Coney Island root beer. It's a hard root beer but not nearly as sweet as NYF.......try it, it's great!!!!!!

    I will have to check and see if I can find that one. Thanks for the heads up!
    Been on a B. Nektar kick as of late. Got an Angry Dwarf Invasion left to try. Also, had some of their Zombies take Manhattan the other day.

    I skipped on the Tequila ones but Locoveza Charred was good too. I didnt expect much as it was basically a batch of beer that went bad on accident that they decided to bottle and market as a sour, it was surprisingly tasty tho.

    Just from my own observation, most of the kegs that are in kegerators are Homebrew happiness. Kegerators are always a good idea for beer storage, but unless you have a place that will fill up a pony keg for a good price, I don't think you'll be saving cash. If you do have a growler fill up spot that fills kegs, then that's awesome, be sure to have a CO2 system and a place that sells "food-grade CO2". I hope this helps!!!

    It slowly migrated here to me in Chicago, I'd imagine if it isn't in Florida yet it will be soon. I'll go take a pic of a bottle I have left in the fridge so you know what to look for.

    Here you go boys.....just so can see what it looks like if you go to buy it......it really is better that NYFRB. If your like me, I'll hear something is good, go to the store, either forget what the hell I wanted or can't find it in the sea of funky craft labels. Lol

    My bad dude.....I thought I saw your name somewhere there in the conversation about the root beers. I had just commented that the NYF was pretty sweet and this Coney Island was much better because it wasn't as sweet.:cheers:

    Thanks sir! Will definitely take a look. I am hoping to check out the Cigar City Meadery soon. Wish they had the apple pie this year since I missed it last year. Keg kicked a couple days before I was able to get there... :mad:
