This is my absolute favorite root beer as a root beer snob who has tried TONS of different root beers that most people who are not crazy about root beer have never heard of. This, and Henry Weinhard's are my two favorite. Both are hard to find except online, and Weinhard's is much more expensive (like $6 per bottle when buying 12 packs online, more when buying less.) Hank's is my go-to though because it is a bit better to my taste buds, I would call it "creamier" and maybe a hint of vanilla that puts this at number 1 for me. I've spent lots of money to keep my fridge stocked with Hank's root beer, and will continue to do so. Some people spend their money on expensive liquor, some spend lots eating lobster several times a week, others may spend everything on certain substances. Top shelf root beer is my guilty pleasure that eats through my income, and I'm ok with that.
