Anchor Ginger Root Beer

It’s a bit ironic that I would take a picture of this bottle on land, when the whole premise of this root beer is somehow associated with the sea.  In fact there is some phraseology on the side of this bottle that says, “As a tribute to all the Sea Dogs and Scallywags looking for adventure on the high seas . . . blah, blah, blah, blah.”

Frankly, this is a very good root beer and it doesn’t need any catchy statements about pirates and oceans and sea anemones in small print on the side of the bottle.  Even though the “sea junk” is pretty corny, the bottle design itself (the anchor) is pretty darn cool.

When I sipped this root beer, I sensed that a ginger beer and a root beer had collided to create this wonderful brew.  Admittedly, this could have been an all out disaster, but this turned about to be an all out success.  This is simply a pleasant brew which has a slightly different flavor than the average root beer.

I really, really liked the root beer and I wish I had another.  And yet . . . I can’t help but think how much better this would be with a little honey sweetener . . . ahhh honey, ginger and natural root beer flavor . . . now that would be good.
