ND Mike I would like to find a way to get ahold of some of that.
calldoctoday you might have to look around for it. I know we can buy it here at liquor stores or at Runnings. A lot of places around here have it on tap too! It is amazing on tap.
-
ND Mike SethHampton nothing wrong at all with a good root beer. I’ve never had a 1919, but I do like that Sprecher out of Wisconsin I believe. Great stuff.
GWG8541 yep Sprecher is good too!
-
ND Mike I’ll be looking for the 1919

ND Mike Thanks, it looks like we are going to have to find a building inspect in ND & give it a shot. I have been wanting to get back up that way & visit for a while anyways. I will bring you some Buffalo Rock when we make it.

So I went to the Tennessee shelf tonight and cracked open a new bottle if Nelson’s Green Brier I’ve had for awhile. I should have opened it sooner. I am not as eloquent as PapaSop in reviewing whiskey, but ITS GOOD! Its a wheated whiskey that has a caramel or brown sugar finish to me. Its a great Tennessee sour mash.

markzs I picked it up in Tennessee on a trip this spring. If my memory is correct, it was under or around 30 bucks.

GWG8541 Love wheated whiskeys. It’s just another one to find and try. Thanks for previewing it.
zbigjeff Nelson’s was a Tennessee distillery that shut down after prohibition. Apparently someone in the family revitalized the recipe. I have seen it here in Ohio at my regular liquor stores.

GWG8541 I am heading over TN way next month, Central and East any suggestions on what to look for or P/U. Going to try to hit a distillery or two in TN and KY. Will be limited on carry capacity, going to be on two wheels.
-
ND Mike Never heard of 1919. But, a good root beer is just soooooo refreshing when ice cold.
zbigjeff it is. 1919 is so good! And if you get it at the bar in a pint glass it just looks like a really dark beer!

YooperDog South Central TN is home to Jack Daniels and Dickel distilleries and they are less than 20 miles apart. Even if you don’t care for JD, I recommend the tour. If you are heading to the east toward the Smoky Mountains, there are a lot of moonshine distilleries in the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area that do samplings, but its ussually crazy busy. My 3 favorite shine distilleries are:
- SUGARLAND in Gatlinburg
- Old Forge in Pigeon Forge (good whiskey also)
- Old Smoky in both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge
I stop at a liquor store outside of Knoxville when I travel through. Its MC’s wine and liquor. They have a great selection of Bourbon, Tennessee Whiskey and Shine. I have purchased bottles there cheaper than the distillery prices in the Smokies.
Kentucky is full of great distilleries. According to what part of the state you travel through depends on what distillery you may want to hit. Buffalo Trace is a favorite of mine, but Beam and Heaven Hill are hard to beat also. Its like being a kid in a candy shop.

ND Mike im spoiled, Sprecher is within my area, its a damned good root beer
Have you or guys ever had DANG (butterscotch root beer)
markzs no u haven’t but it sounds good!

ND Mike Will have to do a power shop to locate it in my area.

GWG8541 thanks. I will have to travel light if I want to bring anything back. I will print out your suggestions and mark them on the map.

GWG8541 Found it online. Now, have to get out and retrieve it. Will advise. I was also searching for 5 other brands for myself and others.
