Finding a favorite Root Beer depends on your likes and tastes IMO. I prefer a higher carbonation with a full flavor and less sweetness. My choice is Red Ribbon Root Beer, but there are quite a few other good ones to check out and some other easier to find such as Dad's or A & W will work to quench a craving.
Here in Los Angeles, we have a nice little place that you can stop by for a visit to check things out, or just surf the web and they will ship to you. Beware that they only deal in bottled sodas, which have a better flavor profile BTW.
