anyone in Nova Scotia? or Canada in general?

i need some sodas only available in Canada. i am very willing to trade US brews or pay expenses for Yacht Club, Seaman's, Marco Beverages, Nanton or any other canadian root beer, birch beer, spruce beer or sarsaparilla!

get in touch!

-anthony

I wasn't aware of Marco or Nanton - but have some friends in Canada. I'll see what I can find. Do you know the cities where they're made?

Nanton makes a summer soda root beer, on this page:

but they also seem to make a regular root beer:

Just emailed my friend in Montreal, and will send another to the Calgary friend later today (need to run some errands). How much of each brand would you like?

just a bottle or two would be enough for me. 2 is ideal, so i can do some trading perhaps, but one is enough.
thanks!

Clare Beverages Root Beer. they are based out of Meteghan.

Of course, I would love it if you send Anthony two, then he and I could trade. Smile

Sorry for the delayed response. Been travelling quite a bit...

My parents called from Nova Scotia - the last day they were there - to see if I had tried Pioneer. I told them they would have to check it (they couldn't) and they did not have time to ship. Oh well...

I still haven't connected with my friend in eastern Canada. I'll call him again... Same for western Canada.

thanks for the update Kevin! and for all of the work you have done. you are a kind fellow. no rush anyway.
