A great day indeed. Tonight we will toast Charles Elmer with frosted mugs.

mmmMMMM…root beer. Thanks for the info, Gild. Is root beer a popular beverage in RSA?

unknown

stay tuned for the birthday of marmite!!!

For some reason, I hate root beer. I used to like it, but now it tastes terrrrible. And everyone thinks I’m weird. LOL

In that case, I must buy a root beer today.

I consider myself fortunate to be able to get DAD’s Old Fashioned ROOT BEER over here in Japan!
I’ve never seen HIRE’S over here anywhere!
You folks in the States can afford to be purists and even snobs about Root Beer, but I’ll take what I can get!

Down in Okinawa, they have a few A&W Root Beer shops, and I ate and drank at one in Singapore, too!

When I go home to Pennsylvania, though, it’s Pennsylvania Dutch BIRCH BEER that I crave!

YUMMMMM!

For a new taste treat (if you’re of age), try Root Beer and Bourbon!

those fancy root beers that are a billion bucks per bottle taste pretty good. So does A & W, but I still don’t like it…

We have a drink called “Iron Brew”. I’m pretty sure that’s root beer, or at least close…
