I was there Saturday and they had it for 9.99. I am in there at least once a week and disagree, the prices are fair.

Also, sometimes its just too hot to drink beer


I have never heard a single human being utter these words.

As for the root beer stuff, about a half a pint is all I can do. I tried to do a whole pint one night and couldn't do it. It's good, but too sweet for drinking a lot.

can anyone tell me why drinking this is better than putting vodka in some root beer?

Like I said, they fluctuate based on demand...

It just showed up at our Hokus Pokus. Love it. OTOH, I really can't consider it a beer. Way too sweet, and really just tastes like a very good root beer. I could only drink one. Float will be made when the Blue Bell comes in.

Anybody seen these in Dallas? I checked Spec's and had no luck. I'd give it a try.

ETA:
Looks like Total Wine has got it for $9.99 as well

Bc it's not... it's a malt beverage like Mike's Hard Lemonade and Smirnoff Ice.

Which is convenient since Not Your Father's Rootbeer is brewed and packaged right along side them at City Brewing in La Crosse, WI

Rouse's had a cooler full of it. I liked it for what it is.

I bought a 6 pack tonight and could only drink 2. I like it, it's good for what it is it's just very sweet for a "beer".

I had the 10% on draft last weekend. Enjoyed it, but also drank it way too quick without realizing it

I agree. I add a shot of vodka to my Bud Light and voila! Imperial IPA!

Saw this at the liquor store by my house a couple days ago. Guy at the counter said everyone seems to like it much better .
