Fitz's Root Beer



I really liked Fitz's Root Beer. Creamy, nice body, not too sweet (though loaded with cane sugar), all natural flavoring, a classic All-American Root Beer. They themselves say:
A small hamburger joint may seem like an unusual place for the birth of a root beer legend. But Fitz’s Drive-In is exactly where it started in 1947. Noted for incredible smoothness and thick, creamy texture, Fitz’s Root Beer was served in mugs and quickly became the root beer of choice among St. Louisans.

It still is. Our recipe is a closely-guarded secret and contains many of the ingredients used in the original. Unlike most soft drinks, Fitz’s continues to use pure cane sugar. The old-fashioned goodness of Fitz’s must be tasted to be believed. Curb service and thirty-cent hamburgers may be a thing of the past, but the distinctive, satisfying taste of Fitz’s Root Beer lives on.
This is in no way a "premium" or "specialty" root beer. This is the best of all possible old-fashioned drinking root beers, and I love it. Sadly, we won't carry it as it uses an artificial preservative, sodium benzoate. I'll have to buy it at (blech) HEB.

Ya'll Motherfuckers Said What?:
I noticed that you were drinking Fitz's and not Fritz's root beer. I posted this comment because I am that kind of asshole.

One of the reasons that we're friends, is that I'm that kind of asshole too. Thanks for the heads up, I fixed it. I was watching The West Wing when I posted that, so I was a might bit distracted.
