Review: Not Your Fathers Root Beer

by Jeff Ellingson

Not Your Fathers Root BeerNot Your Fathers Root Beer is made by Small Town Brewery in Wauconda Illinois.  They currently brew this in three levels of alcohol 5.9%, 10.7%, and 19.5%.  I am reviewing their 5.9% root beer.  This is their only one currently sold in six packs.  It is brewed, fermented, and carbonated like a beer.  Each batch is crafted with cinnamon, winter green, anise, Madagascar vanilla, sarsaparilla bark, and 25 pounds of Tupulo honey.  Their six packs are bottled at the City Brewing Company in Lacrosse Wisconsin, the former home of the G. Heileman Brewery.  This brewery is best known for brewing Old Style Beer, once the best selling beer in Chicago.  Supply is limited which might explain the $15 I paid for a six pack at my local liquor store.   It pours to a dark brown color with a very thin tan head.  The aroma is 100% root beer.  The flavor is, you guessed it root beer.  When I break down the flavor, sarsaparilla bark takes the lead but I also pick up some Madagascar vanilla, with a hint of cinnamon fading with Tupelo honey and a light spicy cinnamon lead finish.  In a blind taste test with several soft root beer’s, I might be able to pick this out as the adult root beer, but if this was served at a hot dog stand, few people would guess there was any alcohol in their root beer.

    Myself and 5 other people tried the 19.5% variety. 4 of us lived the root beer when you initially took a drink, but absolutely hated the “nothing like root beer” aftertaste that hits immediately after swallowing. Only 1 person thought it was good, and he practically drinks hot sauce, so….
