Why don't Germans like root beer?

I haven't met one who enjoyed it.

Apparently all Europeans hate it for some reason

I tried it in America about 10 years ago and thought it tasted like rank mouthwash. But at the end of last year/beginning of this year while watching the NFL playoffs, I suddenly craved it and wtf I like it now.

It's bubbly, cheery, and insidious....just like the Federation

Germans are Cardassians?

based Texas

Yeah can confirm, my dad grew up in Europe and hated the stuff. I like it and drank it every time I went to a&w, eventually he got to the point where he could tolerate it.

Must be something about their palette that makes it really unpleasant

>Germans are Cardassians.

Yes, that is literally who they are meant to be.

Im glad that I now know this exists.

>it's VILE!

There are certain foods that the Old World taste palette simply isn't sophisticated enough to handle.

Grits, maple syrup, root beer, sausage biscuits etc.

>pop

I think only we and the Canadians like it.

>pop
Kill yourself.

That is what it's called hillbilly.

excellent posts

...

Maybe if you gave them the good shit (Barq's) they would like it. But at that point just go straight for Sarsaparilla. Sioux City or Snake River will do

They hate it because the flavor of root beer is open and free like the plains of our great country. They prefer more boxed-in and restrictive flavors, as anything relating to Wide Open Spaces, Freedom, or personal choice gives the European a splitting migraine which can only be alleviated by paying obesiance to his sovereign Lord.

Once you've had Henry Weinhard root beer you'll never go back to A&W.

>good shit (Barq's)

kill yourself son

Root beer is shit.

We are talking about the popular and easy to get root beer

Excellent taste, this is also a personal favorite.

>In America there are root beers that are progressively more difficult to obtain

I love this fucking country.

Not really true, its very similar to a drink in the UK called Dandelion and Burdock which has been drunk since Medieval times. There's also Sarsaparilla in Australia and New Zealand, it's an Anglo drink.

good post fellow patriot

Dying out now though.

Curiosity Cola is bretty good too.

>Apparently all Europeans hate it for some reason
then why do the french make oliet bangs?

It's called micro brewed because it's made in a microwave.

>he's never had bang's root beer

Lmaoing @ your life

even then Barq's wouldn't be "good shit," that title would go to something like IBC

Cregg dude, wanna knock back this six pack of root beer?
Dude Cody wtf? I gotta drive to work tomorrow

Awful post, user.

Thank you for forcing me to confront how empty and joyless my life is.

Never had it. Is it like ginger ale?

Everything Virgil makes is disgusting and tastes like dishwasher soap.

I stuck to what I know. Crater Lake should be on there too, but I doubt it's widely available outside of the PNW.

That *is* how you spell Craig in American English™

This is 100% true, but all root beer is wonderful in it's own way.

You gotta try Culver's though.

ITT: Grown American men wank themselves off over a soft drink for children

>the united kingdom

hahaha opinion discarded

For Europeans who do not have access to premium root beers there is a YouTube video by HTME that shows you how to make your own.....not sure where you'll get the Murrican lake water though.

ginger ale isn't as sweet, root beer is more like coke, but instead of citrus it's bitter

I don't doubt that someone somewhere in this country is named Cregg, but Craig is generally how it's spelled over here. A more stereotypically Ameican name would be Tyler, Chad, Hunter, or Bubba. Or Cooper, God forbid.

He's mocking how Americans pronounce Craig lad

Can't wait until you lose your second referendum and come crying here again

Hunter is a good strong name.

Is A&W even still big at all in the US?

I've heard it's been on a sharp decline for a while but it's staying strong in Canada for some reason.

It bites your tongue and leave a dry, earthy taste. Sarsaparilla does this even more so. Shitty root beer will overflow your palate with vanilla.

First European reply

Oh, alright. I've never hear it pronounced like that.

Nobody comes crying to the UK except Poles and 3rd worlders who prefer it only to France and their war torn homes.

Don't fuck with Canada, the leaf is a bro.

I'm asian and I love it.

What are the root beer brands in Singapore?

He's a Quebec frog who cannot shut up for one minute about how much he hates (the rest of) Canada, genius

Tell us your opinion on root beer

>after canoeing on a sunny Sunday a few weeks ago

>A&Shit sugary Pissbeer

Barq's and IBC blow it the fuck out.

>maple syrup
Afaik they like it, but it's not worth the price. It's expensive here, so it's gotta be insanely pricey in yurp.
>hillbilly
I think you've got it backwards, friend.

>65 replies
>nobody mentions Boylan's
Disappointing.

different legal entity. Canadian A&W is its own thing now.

it's part of his charm. we love to hate our frogs right back.

Not many hillbillies in Seattle, mate.

Be nice with Québec you mongrel

Classic post

unf

tried it once
tasted like absolute ass

root beer tastes like shit

Barq's is good among major label root beers.

I wish more beer breweries would also make root beer. Could lead to proper alcoholic root beer instead of the shitty, over-sweetened stuff that's going around right now.

I had alcoholic root beer at Slim Chickens.

Interesting, but I like my root beer as root beer and my beer as beer.

I must be getting old, they didn't even ask for ID.

If I get this right is root beer like something that emulates the taste and appearance of a beer but doesn't contain alcohol?

beer only in name really, depending on the brand its a sort of spicey, ginger sassafrass drink. really smooth

no, it has nothing to do with actual beer

only people from the Midwest say pop

if you're from Seattle I'd bet anyone around you will say soda

It's foamy soda that tastes a bit like liquorice.

and vanilla

nonalcoholic, fizzy jaegermeister

Shit, that's not a bad comparison

nobody likes jägermeister

Northwest is pop country

>beer
>no alcohol

fuck off

I actually like it but I might be the only spaniard who does.

Some would say the same of Boston.
It's soda, and all civilized people agree on that.

That map is from 2003, and it's even inaccurate for then. In the Midwest, it can vary wildly by town, so I call bullshit on all of that dark blue.

You're growing up

Wtf is ibc? How commonplace can it be if I've literally never heard of it.

So what you're saying is white people call it pop. Good to have a way to identify shitskins here.

dude it's Barq's for crying out loud

>midwest
>white
I've got something to tell you, friend

How could it possibly be darker than the rest of your country?

>Modern, commercially produced root beer is generally sweet, foamy, carbonated, nonalcoholic, and flavoured using artificial sassafras flavouring.

because we are big boys and if we want to drink beer we drink beer not call some fake ass syrup beer

I love it personally. I always get it when I'm in yankland

Weirdly the cheap, artificial stuff tastes the best.

A&W rootbeer is shit.
Premium brands with less artificial ingredients and real sugar instead of corn syrup taste better for every type of soft drink/"soda", but especially so for root beer in my experience.

Good root beer doesn't just taste of vanilla, by the way.

Dr Pepper is actually good IMO. "Pop" is a better word than "soda" too.
