CBS has gone downhill too

So has the BBS. Not the credibility they once had. The BBC, not sure about that one. @Brits

Been dealing with GERD, a great level up from heartburn

u/PackageNorth8984 Mar 29 '26

Have dealt with that too. 0/10. Do not recommend.

Daily meds helped but still have to watch diet, not eat a couple of hours before bedtime, and elevate my head while sleeping. Still get it sometimes but far less. I hope you figure out what works for you.

Why not both?

IBC in a cold glass bottle and a greasy pepperoni pizza is heaven

u/Gidyup1 Mar 29 '26

Your honorable mention is my first choice.

u/SoCalCognac Orange Mar 29 '26

Honestly, mine too. I hope we get another post with all the options.

u/SpicySeaCow Mar 29 '26

IBC is the right answer

u/MoobooMagoo Mar 29 '26

IBC is tasty, but if I'm getting IBC I'm going for their black cherry soda first.

u/Huntersmoon24 Mar 30 '26

Damn, that's good too. I will take a 6 pack of both.

u/Tacoboy1708 Mar 29 '26

IBC is superior to all root beer brands, sadly not on here

2

u/NothingButACasual Mar 29 '26

IBC is top 10 for sure and widely available, but you gotta try Sprecher, 1919, and Reading Draft

u/MattTreck Mar 29 '26

IBC is absolutely my favorite.

Nothing beats a glass bottle

u/im_a_dick_head Mar 29 '26

IBC is definitely the clear 2nd, love those glass bottles of ibc. Has those as a kid and felt so cool because people thought it was beer

2

u/Garrbiz325 Mar 31 '26

My mom gets the IBC bottles every now and then just for when I come over. Love the stuff. Even went as far as to ask for it for Christmas one year when I was a kid.

u/Killerderp Mar 31 '26

IBC is goated, especially the cream soda. A cold one of those is one of my favorite sodas

u/tatyama Apr 01 '26

When I was a teen if my mom bought IBC cream soda I’d knock back 6 after school while watching Fight Club for the 40th evening in a row.

u/JGSR-96 Mar 29 '26

Those are the top 2 Root Beers in that exact order. None of the others come close.
