Not Your Father's Root Beer

It seems only fitting that a traditional beverage with the word "beer" in it actually be made into a proper ale. This summer boasted a wide variety of breweries trying their hand at it, though, none succeeded as masterfully in my opinion more than Small Town Brewery's Not Your Father's Root Beer. Be prepared for a sweet beverage unlike any beer you've had yet. One that kept me checking the label after every sip, saying to myself: "this can't actually be beer!" and "There's no way there's almost 6% ABV in this!" But believe it!

The problem I feel with other brewers is that they tried making a beer that tasted like root beer. Small Town Brewery made an absolutely exceptional root beer...that just happens to have an alcohol content. If you do not typically like beer, but enjoy root beer, buy this! If you, like me, love beer and are constantly looking for something new and unique, buy this! If you just want a good drink, buy this!

I first bought this as a single bottle from a local craft beer store, thinking, it's worth at least a try. After the first sip, I looked at those I was with and said: "this is going to be big." And I was right. In the weeks to follow, I saw Not Your Father's Root Beer popping up in one store after another. Social media exploded with photos of it above captions always praising it. Small Town Brewery has succeeded in providing consumers a beer that literally anyone can enjoy...so long as you like root beer. I had one as a float with vanilla ice cream and yes, it was everything you think it would be and so much more.

So do yourself a flavor and pick up the first 6 pack of this that you find. And be sure to check out Small Town Brewery's website to see what else they have in store.
