I saw photos on Flickr.com,Anyone ever heard of them here?

I bet the Birch Beer is Canadian.

Never saw any of those. I would gladly try the Cherry Crush Cola if I had the chance to, though.

I don't even know what birch beer is. Is it alcohol? Anyway, I have not been able to drink any sodas in weeks now because I think I have an ulcer so I need to be careful what I eat and drink. Basically just drinking G2 these days.

Birch beer is big in this area, along with black cherry. Birch beer is a Pennsylvania Dutch (Amish) thing, and black cherry is a Philadelphia thing. Like any other soda, you can get a version with natural/artificial flavors, or one with actual birch extract. It has a dark color, like a root beer or cola, but doesn't taste anything like root beer. There are also red and clear versions.

My best guess is that probably the only brand that would make it out as far as the west cost would be Boylan's. I'm a big fan of their red.
