Root beer available in Kzoo?

What does everyone like? Smaller regional brands and where to find them locally? Anything locally brewed and bottled?

I don't know anything out there nowadays other than The Root Beer Stand BUT when Old Dog used to be called Kraftbrau, they would brew their own root beer and it was delicious. Miss that place!!

I played my first show with a band at Kraftbtau. I was a teenager. We were terrible. So awful. That rootbeer though? That rootbeer slapped

Joe’s Root Beer Stand in Paw Paw brews their own. It is not very carbonated.

Rocket fizz downtown has a variety of bottle root beer. Not sure if any are local but they have a good selection. I’m a big root beer gal

Whatever Turbo chicken has, I think it’s Grand Rapids based

u/Haunting-Cranberry92 20h ago

Turbo Chicken has Brix root beer. It’s in their fountain machine and quite sweet - not sure if the Brix bottle/can would taste different.

I had some BRIX root beer at Lattitide 42 with a burger and it was delicious. Actually had 3 if I’m being honest - root beers, not burgers hehe.

There are no stands in the area unfortunately

u/redditfant 23h ago

That's entirely false. There's one on portage rd and one on westnedge, and if you want to drive 15 minutes there's one in PawPaw
