Re: DRIB: Vernors / Stewart's



I love root beer.  I discovered Stewart's after moving to Michigan.
It's now one of my favorite root beer brands.  I've also recently
discovered Hank's, a Philadelphia brand that's really good.

I still miss Sprecher root beer, though.  I used to drink that in
Milwaukee.

Mmmmm, Stewart's.  I grew up (partially) in upstate NY around Albany,
where
Stewart's runs convenience stores, and always thought of their soda and
ice
cream and so on as the 'generic' brand (albeit a very good one).  It
was
also, being the generic brand, dirt cheap.  Then I moved south where
there
are no Stewart's stores and discovered, much to my amusement, that
Stewart's
was considered a premium soda down here, and priced accordingly.

There is a coffeeshop two blocks away that somehow has Stewart's root
beer
in these short bottles with wide mason-jar mouths and which will make
you a
root beer float right in the bottle.  The orange creme is the best,
though.
