35. I always had 2 baby burgers
and a root beer. I loved baby burgers! Years later I came across an A & W Root Beer stand somewhere in my travels in Texas. The hamburgers had all changed and weren't any good anymore.

:(

4. Good old Dad's is always a fine choice.
I remember drinking Dad's and Hires out of 16-ounce glass bottles.

Real A&W from a drive-in was always good too.

These days, if I want a root beer, I'm more apt to pick up something fancypants, like Henry Weinhardt.

15. Barq's is IT
If you can't get that...well...NY has Seneca Root Beer and NJ has Stewarts - both pretty good.

28. MUG
A&W makes my stomach ache, and Barq's is too much for me. MUG is just perfect.

29. We have a rootbeer drive up in Muskegon
In Michigan. It's an old-school drive in restaurant, but you can also go inside. They make their own root beer.

That is the best. Similar to real beer, you can't beat a good micro-brew.
