Well, I am going to share this blog with my lovely wife, I hope you don't mind some mindless banter. Several years ago, I professed over the pulpit while giving a talk in church that I have a fascination with Root Beer and I am on a never ending quest to find the perfect Root Beer. Having professed this infatuation in public, I now receive root beers from all over the country as gifts and tokens of friendship. Recently, I received a crate full of Root Beer from Creedence Anderson for helping him snag a room for his honeymoon. The Anderson family has been a major contributor to my Root Beer quest. Whenever they find a new and unusual Root Beer, they bring it home for me to test. I sure appreciate their help in this quest. So for the next month or so, I will be documenting and rating the 24 Root Beers that I just received. I have tried several of the ones I received, but their are quite a few new ones that I have not. I am rating each Root Beer on the following categories:
Smoothness: How it goes down
Rootness: How strong is the taste of the actual root
Sparkle: The level of carbonation
Originality: Does it have a different taste than the every day root beer
Likability: Does it have an overall likeness to it, this is obviously very subjective
Branding: How is the labeling and the name of the root beer
Overall: This is the overall score of the rootbeer and an average of the above scores
The scale is from 1-5; 5 being the highest score.
If you have suggestions on your favorite Root Beer, please let me know and I will test and rank it. Currently right now, my favorite is Henry Weinhardts Root Beer. Donations are always accepted! :)

Eric, have you been to Henry's & their soda eisle? They have quite a few root beers. They have the Boylyns that you just rated & a couple others that we really liked. I know you work right down the street, maybe you'll have to take a lunch break there.
Good luck!
Okay that is too cute. How nice of Credence to help you a long your quest! I am gonna have to let Brian read your ratings...he will get a laugh out of it!
I wish I could come to your Pres. meetings with Ross just to have some top-knotch rootbeer. This blog is adding to an already long list of cravings that don't fit my post-baby diet. Thanks Eric.
