For the Love of Root Beer

Follow along as the Rootbeer Brothers taste and critique rootbeer from around the country and add plenty of commentary concerning the "World of Root Beer" so sit back, grab a frosty mug and pour yourself some of the smoothest blog on the net.

Since Charles Hires first started selling his bottled carbonated root beer back in 1876, life in America has tasted so much smoother. In appreciation of one of America's very own beverages, we intend to explore the tastes, history and culture of root beer. From the frosty mug to the dark long-necked bottle may you enjoy this most tasteful journey of dark brewed indulgence.

Jeff & Adam are by no means experts in the subject but rather full-fledged enthusiasts who have enjoyed passing bottles of root beer back and forth (through the mail) from all parts of the country. Although not biological siblings, the Rootbeer Brothers are bound by an equal love of this most inviting American soft drink. So pop a top and sip some of the most freshly brewed blog on the web.

Thank you for visiting and feel free to leave any suggestions, comments, or critiques of your own.

Sincerely your frosty mug friends,

The Rootbeer Brothers

1st Anniversary of The Rootbeer Brothers

It has certainly been a tasteful year here at the Rootbeer Brothers. We have evaluated 14 brews, perfected our logo, started the Rootbeer Cellar and stocked it with 3 brews, began experimenting with making our own brew, changed the format of the site from 2 to 3 column display and added a translate and search option, and almost made it to the Root Beer Festival in Alto Pass, Illinois (plans got changed at the last minute).
Smooth times indeed!
The most impressive accomplishment in our book is that the website obtained 3,890 hits during our first year. Not too shabby for a couple of guys just yapping about some root beer.
So for the year to come, it is our hope that we will evaluate even more brews this year, throw in some more root beer history and recent root beer news, we will get closer to obtaining our own recipe of brew, increase traffic to our site, and we are most hopeful of obtaining some interaction and feedback from our friends who have tagged along with us on our journey. So keep "poppin those tops" we certainly will.
By the way, thank you, who ever you are, for taking the time to humor our little root beer adventure.
your friends; -The Rootbeer Brothers, Jeff & Adam
