Triple XXX is sometimes available in fountains in TX at times, it is some good stuff. Very frothy and thick.
Otherwise I really like IBC, but a Barq's or A&W will do if nothing else(as they seem to be available across the nation)

A&W is always good. But Im a big fan of Sioux City Sasparilla out of the bottle though. The BP by my work has it and every once in a while i'll stop in specifically for one of those.
Really hits the spot on a hot summer day

I'm still going with Red Ribbon as my choice.
Somebody had mentioned that most root beer is too sweet and heavy. Red Ribbon has higher carbonation, more flavor, and less syrup/sweetness to it. They also use real cane sugar instead of corn sweetners. It's hard to find, but a good choice.
Here's an article I found regarding Natrona Bottling (Makers of Red Ribbon Root Beer):
Natrona Bottling
There's a shop that sells mostly soda (including Red Ribbon and all of the Natrona Sodas for that matter) and other specialty beverages close to where I live in Los Angeles. It's a very interesting place to visit...sodas from all over the world, but only bottled drinks are sold here:
Galco's - Los Angeles

Slightly OT, but Galco also has some of the hard to find candy such as Idaho Spuds, Zero Bars, Necco Wafers, Nut Goodie, Abba Zaba, Chik-O-Stix, Mallo Cups, etc. It's a fun place to visit and nice to pick up a treat or two.

Bought some Berghoff's this afternoon - one quart for $0.88 at Joseph's Marketplace in Crystal Lake, IL.

The best rootbeer ever (in my family's estimation) is Dominion Root Beer, made with honey instead of cane sugar or corn syrup.
A little off topic, but has anyone heard of Dr. Pepper made with cane sugar instead of corn syrup? A friend who lived in TX for a time said that Dr. P originated down there and this is the original recipe. He said that you can still buy it that way down in TX, but nowhere else. Anyone else heard of it?
