also, a root beer that's head and shoulders above Virgil's

I'd settle for simply better than Virgil's. Boylan cream soda, drunk good and cold, is worth trying once. They make a cola, but I haven't tried any of their other drinks.

Boylan cream soda is excellent. Ya, I was shooting for the moon w the Virgil's thing lol

Not sure about head and shoulders above Virgil's but a friend of mine out in Washington tuned me in to a Root Beer called Bulldog root beer. Uses natural vanilla and cane sugar. One of the best I have had. Another brand, Hank's Root Beer is really good too. These are both sweeter than Virgil's though.

ooo V nice!! i love those two bottles... Bulldog's website even has a "root beer history" section lol, they seem like they know their shit lol

ok this just a question for you soda nerds in general, but why no one wanna take on coke and dr. pepper flavors, and only seem to do:
1 a root beer
2 a cherry
3 an orange
4 a cream soda (maybe?)

Fentiman's Curiosity the only soda I know of that does Coke better than Coke. There's also Maine Root's "Mexicane Cola", which is delicious but much more like standard Coca Cola than Fentiman's vintage, when-coke-had-cocaine herbal take on cola.

I have an sentimental fondness for Stewart's Key Lime.

RC Cola

You could try Q Kola, might be in the vein you're looking for.

Japan has a lot of craft colas, but probably not too easy to get to the US.
