Filbert's Old Time Quality Draft Root Beer

Dating from 1926, Filbert's is a Chicago brew from the prohibition era, when George Filbert delievered milk, ice, and coal in a horse-drawn wagon to local homes. Evidently George figured that brewing root beer would be profitable during prohibition, and his secret recipe endures to this day! Let's hope that it's an improvement over that other Chicago brew, Berghoff's, which is disgusting (see review below).

John: Something's just not right. A little bitter, a little melted-vanilla-ice-cream flavor, it tastes like some tonic water fell into the barrel. **

FRED: PLAIN SIMPLE ROOT BEER. NOTHING SPECIAL. **
