I'm a Root Beer fan - I try ever oddball brand when I encounter it - but the best - and I mean the absolute best, nothing even close - Root Beer is a local brand called 1919, made in New Ulm, MN. Unfortunately, it is only sold in bars and restaurants in the Upper Midwest. For any who attend the Minnesota State Fair, there's a 1919 stand on a corner just up from the cheese curd place (I always hit them both). Cheap, too, compared to restaurants.

A local restuarant chain HOPS in South Florida makes their own beer on the premises (which they're know for) and they make Root Beer as well. It is flavorfull but not as sweet as the bottled kind. Very good with a hamburger for lunch.

From the Dublin Dr. Pepper plant near Waco, Texas, Frostie Root Beer. Dublin is famous for being the plant that uses pure cane sugar in their Dr. Pepper, rather than corn syrup. I haven't had Frostie Root Beer, so I can't say whether it has cane or corn sugar, although I suspect, as that's Dublin's big deal, it has cane sugar, which is mighty tasty. You can order it online (as I intend to myself soon), click the pic.

I recently discovered Stewart's root beer here is So Cal and I must say that it's the best I've ever had. But my experience is limited to Barq's, Mug's, and other national brands.
