Yesterday's L.A. Times featured a very detailed article about how craft-brewed sodas are coming into their own in much the same way that micro-brewed beers have. While the article touched on sodas such as Boylan’s Creamy Red Birch Beer complimenting the food at places like The French Laundry, the emphasis was really on appreciating quality soft drinks by themselves. Aside from some interesting opinions of a few soda brewmasters, the article also features an extensive tasting panel of everything from Virgil’s Root Beer to Jamaican Ting (a personal favorite of mine). I also learned that Louisiana’s Abita brewery produces a root beer in addition to their more famous alcoholic brews such as their dark, molasses-y Turbodog. Serious soda

Check out Galco's in Los Angeles. They are reputed to have the largest selection of Sodas in the country. BTW, they do mail order too. http://www.sodapopstop.com/
