Who are you people anyway?
As kids, we used to ride our bikes cross town to buy a gallon, and bring it home. My parents would tell the neighborhood kids to "go home, get a glass, we're making floats"!

There was a brewery near me, Dominion, that made their own root beer. It was really good, though pricey like craft brew. Root beer floats are a special treat!
Every once in a while I run into a place that sells Birch Beer. It has a flavor similar to root beer, also very tasty.

Wow!
My memory is not what it used to be but I think we have talked before. I think you might have shared some pics with me or my brother (BStable) of the “Hog Festival” in Melvin.
Definitely a small world if I am talking to someone who knows about Yale. Both my parents graduated from Yale High School and still go back for the reunions.
I have not been back to that area since my grandparents passed away in like 2002/2003. Is the A&W still there?

I don't drink soda, but I do like good root beer. As a small aside, I was just reading about how most countries other than the US think root beer is gross, and associate it with mouthwash. It seems that there is a chemical, methyl salicylate, that is present in root beer and also in most European dentist mouthwash. It's actually poisonous in larger amounts. (7g kills an average adult)
I always associate root beer with the smell of the black birch tree. I remember as a kid, snapping of small branches and smelling that glorious smell!
We have a nice local root beer that is very popular around here:

Still see Dominion Root Beer in bottles, but my daughter used to love the draft Dominion they had at Hard Times Chili Parlors when they were still around.
