Never heard of that before.
But neither had l of root beer, before DS9 or so.
So is it another one of those US-defaultism things still present in the 24th century?
I find them slightly annoying in Trek, but try to ignore them.

The root beer thing sounds so surreal to me, but it really shouldn't.

For a long time I thought it to be just a made up thing, like Saurian Brandy or so.
But I would like to at least taste it once. Must ask at our local US store if it has some...

Look for the brand 1919. they're fantastic, but not the best since that title belongs to a local pop factory in my state. Mug is mid and a&w is only good at the restaurant

I most frequently have A & W; it's pretty rare we get anything else. I don't think I've had a lot of Mug; I've certainly had some before, but it feels like I see more A & W and Barq's around my area. I don't think I've ever actually been to an A & W; all the Las Vegas locations had been closed for years (and still are) back when I lived in Vegas, and there's only 1 in the entirety of the Phoenix area where I current live.

Honestly, for me, root beer is root beer. Also, I rarely drink it as a standalone beverage these days; I mostly just use it in root beer floats. I'd only really choose it if there was no Dr. Pepper around or I was avoiding caffeine.

Thanks for the tip, but I don't think I can be picky here.
Honestly, I would be really surprised if they had root beer at all.
It is really exotic niche stuff, outside of die-hard ST-fans generally not known...

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
