I live in the New Haven Area and buy Foxon Park by the case. I love the smell of Birch Beer!

Nice! I don't drink much soda but when I'm at a place that has birch I usually get it.

Does Mr. Kipper call it "white birch beer"? It's very popular in New England but usually just called "birch beer". I like it....it's got a lighter taste than root beer. They sell it in convenience stores between the ginger ale and the pepsi.

I've seen clear birch beer (is that what you mean by 'white'?) from Polar but not tried it; I'm more familiar with the brown-colored stuff made and sold in the mid-Atlantic states by several soft drink manufacturers.

The flavor of birch beer, while similar to root beer, is different enough that I wouldn't consider the two 'six of one, half-dozen of the other'.

I've seen clear and red birch beer. We made birch beer at summer camp. It was non-carbonated and I have no idea of the ingredients since I was probably 8 at the time. It did taste right though. I've never seen it outside the northeast.

I am firmly in the 'Yuck' camp. I tried it at the World of Coca-Cola! in Atlanta along with thousands of screaming 'over-sugared' kids!! Although I am not sure whether it was the White Birch Beer or the Coca-Cola tasting room that traumatised me!
