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."
