Diamond Bear Brewing Company

Before I was on the road trip to Little Rock, Arkansas with friends, I am researching if there’s any root beer in the state of Arkansas. But I found one in Little Rock so far. Talk about a perfect timing for my road trip to Little Rock. And it’s in Diamond Bear Brewing Company. It’s not just the root beer the Diamond Bear made but there’s some beers as well. Yes, I did tried their beers and it’s not great to me at all. But the root beer tasty better than their beer. Diamond Bear Root Beer taste like it have a vanilla and cane sugar. But I can tell that it smell like a licorice but not taste like a licorine. I asked if they have a bottle but unfortunately, they only sell a glass jar of root beer for $15 a jar. And $10 if refill. Little bits overprice for a jar, right?

Vino's Brewery

And before my friends and me went to Diamond Bear Brewing Company, we stopped by Vino’s Pizza/Pub/Brewery which one of my friends suggest to go. I was like “Why not? Because I do like a pizza and want to see how good their pizza tasted.” It turned out that their pizza was pretty good. Guess what? I found out that Vino’s does brewed their own hand-made root beer and ordered a cup of root beer on tap. Their root beer was pretty good and slightly different from Diamond Bear. Vino’s don’t smell like a licorice at all but does strongly taste like a vanilla and not cane sugar but more like regular sugar to me. And I bought a glass jar of Vino’s Root Beer for $6. What a cheap price for the jar! I decided to keep both of jars and is going to finish them up before it goes flat. Cheers!

Dublin Dr. Pepper and Billy Rattler's Root Beer

When I went to Billy Rattler’s Bar-B-Q for playing Texas Hold ‘Em Poker and order some baked potatoes and a drink, I saw two different soft drinks which is hard to find anywhere. One shows Dublin Dr. Pepper which I did post the video blog two years ago. Another soft drink shows that Billy Rattler’s made its own root beer. However, it sure shows that their own root beer made in Dublin Dr. Pepper. Both of them have same imperial cane sugar. I was like “Oh heck yeah! I gotta try that root beer” immediately and filled the cup with their root beer right away. The root beer taste pretty sweet and have lots of foam. It’s not too bad at all but I would definitely drink that root beer and Dublin Dr. Pepper everytime I come to Billy Rattler’s Bar-B-Q for playing Texas Hold ‘Em Poker. I did asked the waitress there if they sell any bottle of their own root beer. Unfortunately, they don’t have a bottle of that but can fill the plastic galloon of their root beer. It sure disappoint me greatly because I love to collecting the glass bottle of root beer. Yes, it’s one of my hobbies. As for you Root Beer fans, if you haven’t had a chance to try that, make sure to put it on your wish list whenever you comes to Fort Worth, Texas in future date.

Note: As of June of 2010, Billy Rattler’s Bar-B-Q went out of the business. Sorry about that, viewers.
