The root beer change has been revolutionary to me, both because I much prefer the taste and also because it's cheaper for me to do more regularly

I ain't much for beers (when I drink its hard liquor/mixed stuff, gimmie the Blue Hawaiians I don't wanna taste the alcohol 9/10 times) so that'd prob be a preference for me as well. I'll have to try em sometime!

The beer choice had a massive influence on end result flavor, but every root beer I've used has both been preferable to me and also consistent regardless of expense.
