'Life is too short to debase yourself with subpar R.B.,' writes leahfinnegan
A longtime mission in my life is finding the best diet root beer. What’s not to love about root beer? That ineffable mix of vanilla, licorice, and wintergreen flavors, a little bit of anise or nutmeg, perhaps — it’s a liquefied spice cake of a drink. Smooth and creamy over ice, it’s a dessert, a delightful accompaniment to a hot dog at a baseball game, or simply a lovely midday treat.
Despite being an East Coast invention — it’s thought that early colonists used sassafras and sarsaparilla roots to brew a witchy low-alcohol beer, and a few hundred years later, the first commercial root beer debuted at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia — I find it difficult to obtain a quality ale in my Brooklyn stomping grounds. You can find cloying Mug or flat A&W at any bodega, but life is too short to debase yourself with subpar R.B.
