Virgil's Root Beer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Virgil's Root Beer is a microbrewed gourmet root beer made in Los Angeles, California by Reed's, Inc. Its brewing process, developed by Chris Reed, is similar to that used in real beer. It can even be found sold in pint bottles and small kegs.

Virgil's contains cane sugar and a number of natural spices, including anise, licorice, vanilla, cinnamon, clove, sweet birch, molasses, nutmeg, pimento berry oil, balsam oil, cassia oil, and citric acid. It does not contain caffeine. It has 42 grams of sugar per 12U.S. fluid ounce serving.

Virgil's Root Beer won the "Outstanding Beverage" Award at the International Fancy Food and Confection Show in 1994, 1996, and 1997. It is sold mainly in health food stores and other specialty food stores such as Whole Foods Market, Cost Plus World Market, and Trader Joe's.
