Lloyd: When I met Mary, I got that old fashioned romantic feeling, where I'd do anything to bone her. Harry: That's a special feeling.
Store bought: I hate all beer found in stores, but I love Hard Apple Cider (Woodchuck, mostly)
Homemade: I make my own apple beer (using apple juice/fresh pressed cider when in season instead of water, Spaaz hops, some amber and light DME, and torrified wheat for head retention) and my own hard apple cider (10 gallons in oak barrels for about 2 years now and counting)

I don't know what it is, but it tastes so much better than any other root beer I've had. Perhaps the honey?
Is this a regular root beer or is it alcoholic (yes there are such things)?
Completely non-alcoholic, but it is bottle by a brewery. I can't tell you how happy I was when I discovered it was available in the Champaign area after moving away from what I thought was the only region it was available in.
I've become a fan of Firestone Walker ever since I had dinner at their brewery last year. Their Union Jack IPA is my particular favorite, but it's pricey in stores. I usually settle for the DBA.
I'm also fond of Franzizkaner, Sam Adams Summer Ale, Spaten Oktoberfest, and La Fin Du Monde.

Check out Costco. The Costco by us has a 24 pack with three different types of Firestone (DBA, Union Jack IPA, and I think a Pale Ale) for $23.99 + tax.

La Fin du Monde huh? That beer will put hair on your chest.
Nice to see some Gritty's love. I dug their stuff when I lived in Portland.
I'm working at the local craft brewery here in Houston. They make a great selection of year rounds and seasonals, but the single-batch Divine Reserve series is fantastic. The most recent was a Double IPA that killed.
Three Floyd's in Munster, IN make some great stuff as well.
Yes, I have turned into a beer snob over the last year or so.

If you drink it, sure. But just apply it topically for subsequent removal
(I kid. Unibroue beers aren't for everyone and probably not for all the time, but I like many of them and have some great (partial) memories of them...)
