Thank you for posting this. IMHO this is how _real_ rootbeer is made. My family always makes rootbeer at home, and it seems that the key ingredient is "yeast."

Thank you for posting this. IMHO this is how _real_ rootbeer is made. My family always makes rootbeer at home, and it seems that the key ingredient is "yeast." I have never tasted any rootbeer that comes close to the amazing flavour and _kick_ that home made rootbeer has. Rootbeer that is so carbonated it burns your throat before even tasting it. Mmmmmm…
I have actually found a comparable Rootbeer in some common grocery stores that tastes almost exactly like my home made rootbeer, but not quite as strong. If any of you love _real_ rootbeer as much as I do, I urge you to try this!

If you find it in a grocery store, STOCK UP! They are imported from Germany, and when they are out of stock, it seems to take about a month to re-stock.
Edit: Okay, I think the store clerk was either misinformed or lying to me, because "Bundaberg" is in Australia. Perhaps it is imported from Germany… and that is why it takes 1 month. But every store I find it at, seems to have only a couple left, and seems to take a long time before they "re-up."
- glenr 12y agoYeah, the Bundaberg range is definitely Australian. They do ginger beer (what Australians call root beer) as well as sarsaparilla. Both are fantastic drinks. Edit: so if you're doing a search, you're probably likely to find it as "bundaberg ginger beer" - eg http://www.bundaberg.com/info/product_range/ginger_beer/ http://www.bundaberg.com/info/product_range/ginger_beer/
- ewood 12y agoBundaberg sarsaparilla is the same formulation as the root beer, not the ginger beer (http://www.bundaberg.com/info/product_range/sarsaparilla http://www.bundaberg.com/info/product_range/sarsaparilla)
- ddmf 12y agoBundaberg is nice, but my favourite rootbeer-a-like is the Malaysian Sarsi made by F&N
