Hi: I am in the Northern Virginia area, and I want to have a fall root beer party in which my guests can participate in a blind taste test of various root beer brands and vote which is best. Two questions:

1) Which brands should I use (I was thinking maybe 10 brands or less)?
2) Where can I get them?

Thanks in advance.

You'll have to choose which brands, but I wouldn't limit them to what is locally available.

I'd recommend a store on Ebay called the Hip Hop Soda Pop Shop. They have a great selection and the owner is way cool.

I should know, I see him daily in the mirror.

Are you going to re-stock your e-bay store with some more root beer?

My main vendor went out of business which essentially wiped out my business as well. I should be able to start bringing in more soda in the next month or so. I'm going to try and stick with just root beers and cane sugar sodas and stay away from most of the other brands that just sit on the shelves.

I'm a little behind on listing items on Ebay and currently have the following:

Mountain Dew
Dr. Pepper
Diet Dr. Pepper
Diet Cheerwine
Orange Crush
All the Filberts flavors (24 total)
Dad's blue cream
Vernor's Ginger Ale
Nehi Peach, Grape & Orange
Welch's Grape
Cool Mountain Green Apple and Blue Raspberry

As well as some others i can't think of off the top of my head.

Thanks,

Josh

Thanks!
