This pizza parlor (tasty slices) has its own birch beer bottled for them. They also do a very good Root Beer.
Review
Wintergreen and gingery nose. Very smooth, syrupy almost, in the initial hit. Big wintergreen middle range tails off into a softer, mellower aftertaste, still with wintergreen hints. This is quite a pleasant birch beer, full and smooth, more complex than the usual wintergreen concoction.
