Review: Best Damn Root Beer
Best Damn Root Beer was just released by the Best Damn Brewing Company. They also brew Best Damn Apple Ale. This division of Anheuser Busch has been working on the recipe since 2014. It is an ale that is aged on real vanilla beans during the brewing process. While market leader Not Your Fathers Root Beer currently enjoys an 80% market share, Coney Island Hard Root Beer is coming on strong with an 18% market share. Others including the previously reviewed Rowdy Root Beer, Row Hard Root Beer, Sprecher, and the soon to be reviewed Mission Hard Root Beer, control the other 2%. Read more
Review: Row Hard Root Beer
Row Hard Root Beer is crafted at the Rock Bridge Brewing Company in Columbia Missouri along with their Pedal Hard Ginger Beer. It is sold in 4 packs of 16 ounce cans and is brewed with pure cane sugar, molasses, spices, and botanicals. Row Hard is brewed without grain and it is gluten free.

Based on the success of Not Your Fathers Root Beer, I expect to review many more. Read more
