Mason's Drive-In
Root Beer
"Since
1951"
1202 E. National Highway (Hwy 257 & 50W), Washington, Indiana • 812-254-2830
Another rural Indiana gem, this drive-in has car hop service, just flash your lights. Owner Bob Arnold and his extended family run the place (was I waited on by niece Bridgette). It is brewed on site. It is not bottled, and should not be confused with the Mason's Root Beer.
Review
Syrupy sweet, very creamy. Not much rootiness. Slightly thin feel, not as rich as some of the Indiana root beers. Nice maple syrupy finish with a wintergreen aftertaste.
