Hires Root Beer - Michigan

[RunWithDaLilGuy]

Canada Dry of East Lansing, Michigan now carries Hires Root Beer. I'm very excited as I haven't had Hires in years since they pushed it out for A&W. I have one in the freezer, waiting excitedly to try it.

Cool! I could go for a Hires about now...

drive on up! or not. i'm gonna call the company either today or tommorrow and see what other sizes it comes in. it's shipped in from out of state (michigan) because it doesn't have the 10 cents deposit on the top of the can. also, it is the same can that it was like 10 years ago, odd really. it tasted good last night, i rate it 3.5/5

We have Hires in Indianapolis. American Bottling produces it, but it is distributed through a fourth tier system, being American pushes A&W here. Also we have Sunqist, Welches, & Crush.

our fourth tier root beer used to be monarch's dad's root beer, but now apparently it's Hires. what sizes is it made in, big rich?

I have just seen it in 2L and 12pack cans. It is higher $$$ than most. I am drinking a can right now.

[shawn2]

Yeah, they got a huge catalog and have stuff all over the place... but I can e-mail you a general list. do you want bottles only...??

My store is getting in Hires 2-liters and 12-packs soon! It comes in through one of our Hispanic foods distributors. I've got no idea why.
