Why not just drink root beer? I think the consensus here is that it's not exactly a very tolerable beer when having more than one. Why not just drink a root beer?

I find the alcohol detracts from the drink. Is that just me?

Why not let people drink what they enjoy? Is anyone forcing you to drink it?

I imagine you'd have a similar reply if someone asked you "why not just drink bud light?"

Since you're not keen on letting this go, I'll explain it to you.

You looked like a giant hypocrite saying "to each his own" then following that up with it is certainly bad. Here's the definition of the word you chose: undoubtedly; definitely; surely. Using the definition, you are not allowing anyone's opinion that it is good to be valid.

ETA: And Wise's post saying it's bad has nothing to do with you being a hypocrite

Totally understand.

Taste is subjective to the individual.


That's all I was getting at.

In addition, your comment about the sugar content off as well. 0 grams of sugar, and fewer carbs and calories (12 and 177) than both Lagunitas Sucks (20 and 239) and Cigar City Jai Alai (25 and 244) I just pulled those 2 out of the air for comparison since they are known and people like them.

I'm NOT saying that makes the product good, just clarifying.

I don't care what you are drinking. Why are you so upset of my opinions of this "beer"? I'm simply stating, if you like Root Beer, then wouldn't just drinking root beer be better, as i find the alcohol in this stuff to be offputting. I was wondering if others do as well.

You have a terrible imagination. I don't care what you drink. It would be hypocritical if that was my consistent answer. But i've stated many times that taste is subjective. That being said, sometimes there comes a beer where it is universally agreed that it is shite. Bayou Teche's Persimmon sour comes to mind. After tasting this one, i was wondering if maybe this one was. I'm sorry i'm insulting your "beer". Drink all you want. They just got a big shipment at Calandro's yesterday. Stack up. I won't stop you.

Yet you are in a thread about something you clearly don't like and are asking people why they don't just drinks something else.

I don't give a shite what you think about it. I pointed out the hypocrisy of your post on the other page, then asked why you care what someone else drinks. You're more than free to not like it.

Not sure what that even mean s in this context, but thanks I guess.

Well too fricking bad for you that this drink isn't universally considered shite. It obviously bothers you that there is a demand for it and people like it. Go cry about it... oh wait, you already are.

Yeah. I was going off of perception of taste. It tasted very sweet, and then the alcohol in it left a warm, cough syrup'ey flavor on the back end. If someone made a dr. pepper "beer" i'd say the same thing, why not just drink Dr. Pepper? It's pretty wide consensus that it's not exactly a crushable beer, and i find, and i think others as well, find the alcohol inthe stuff to be off putting. Unlike other beers (yes even bud light) the alcohol adds to the beer (there are some where it is offputting as well), so i say to that, if you are only in it for the alcohol, their are much easier drinking alcoholic beverages.

If you like the drink, drink it. I would not, and i would not recommend it, but apparently it's got a vehement following, so someone must like it.

Either your information is incomplete/incorrect or Small Town Brewery has lied about the use of artificial sweeteners in their product.

What is your problem, lunchbox? Why are you so angry? Are you personally brewing this hard root beer? Are you invested in this company? You seem very invested in this, so much so that you are cussing to get your point across. Drink all you want. I think it is a terrible alcoholic drink. If you love it, drink up. I like IPA's. I know some people hate IPA's. I am not going to yell at them for liking or not liking, and they can say IPA's taste like flowers, potpourri, cat piss all they want. I happen to love the taste.

Have a hard root beer and simmer down.

I really like how you're trying to play this off on me. It's cute.

Just don't forget you're the guy in a thread about something that you don't like, while you supposedly don't care about people's opinions about it, trying to change those opinions.

Is there a right or wrong in this thread? Someone asked about the beer. People gave their opinions of it. Some liked it, some don't. I personally don't. I stated that. I assumed this was a widely unliked beer so i made an affirmative statement. I'm sorry you took issue with it. I then stated that i believe taste is subjective, but i felt this one was pretty widely regarded as pretty bad.

I'm sorry I offended your delicate sensibilities.

I'm not trying to change anyones opinion, genius. I don't like the beer. I think it's pretty awful. You like it, you think it's wonderful. So what. Why is this causing you to challenge every single word i say on it?

My issue isn't with the beer so much is your attitude towards me and it. Why do you care so much what i think about it? Slow day on the rant or something?

My issue has never been with you disliking it.
