This Saturday we had a fun adventure. We have been wanting to go to a store out in Eagle Rock that is known for selling all types of Soda, Galcos. After putting it off for a long time, we finally got around to it. Chad and Brittany met us there and we spent a small fortune on a ton of sodas. I think that between the two families we had about 35 different sodas. Later that evening (after a failed bonfire attempt...all the pits were full) we had dinner over here and had a taste testing of all our exotic sodas. There was no way our poor stomachs could handle so many at once, so we limited that night just the root beer variety. We had about 13 different root beers and tried to determine the best.
Here is about 1/2 our our purchase!
FYI our unanimous favorite picks were Sprechers (I'm guessing German?) and Berghoffs for the creaminess. Both used pure cane sugar and some honey. Maybe that is the secret.
Least favorites were: Virgils (it tasted to much like licorice) and Route 66 (for lack of carbonation and flavor)
To be fair we still have about 4 Root Beers we did not get to. Another night we will crack open some more of our crazy soda such as: a lavender soda, boysenberry soda, Ginger Beer, and Moxie (whatever that is?). Fun stuff!

That was so much fun and we have lots more to try. I downed an apple beer today and enjoyed every single drop of it!
Cool Beans! That sound like so much fun. Did you have a burping contest too? Let us know how the lavender one tastes like, I am very curious.
What a cool adventure, it's one of my favorite types... drink hunting. I LOVE ginger beer, never heard of Moxie though... I'm going to put this tasting trip on my list of must-do's for sure!!!
ginger beer is our favorite.
