For instance,\nWild Bill’s Craft Beverage Co.\nis not often seen outside of specialty shops, but when it hit shelves at Dollar Tree last year, fans couldn't contain their excitement. And when\nCheerwine\n, a North Carolina-based drink, dropped an unexpected holiday flavor, shoppers immediately stocked up.\nRecently, we noticed Redditors raving about an unfamiliar root beer, and we've come to find out, it's a beloved Midwest favorite.\nWhy Fans Love 1919 Root Beer\nHailing from\nMinnesota\n, 1919 Root Beer has amassed a devoted following that considers it among the best in its class. The craft soda company is named after the year when the 18th Amendment was ratified, and the Volstead Act was passed, two events that ultimately led to a ban on alcohol in the United States for 13 years.\nAnd while the brand wasn’t directly part of the\nProhibition era\n, the name is a nod to the period when soft drinks, including\nroot beer\n, saw an uptick in popularity.\nSo, what makes 1919 Root Beer special? To start, you won’t find high-fructose corn syrup in its products. The company prides itself on using real sugar as its only sweetener, with the exception of its zero-sugar version, which uses\nsucralose\n. In addition, fans repeatedly mention the soda’s smooth vanilla taste.\nOn\nReddit\n, there are numerous threads dedicated to the fizzy drink. \"Finally got my hands on a can of 1919 and let me tell ya, best canned root beer I've had by far,\" exclaimed one person. \"It's easily my favorite. Love vanilla root beers,\" another wrote.\nIn a\nseparate thread\n, one reviewer offered insight about the taste. \"Move over A&W Root Beer, this is much better,\" they wrote. \"It's quite sweet, has a lot of spice to it, a bit syrupy, and a lot of vanilla to the point that it almost seems like [a] float in a can.\"\n1919 Root Beer is available to purchase from select retailers in the upper Midwest. Fans can also snag cans, bottles, and five-liter kegs (yes, kegs) directly through the\ncompany’s website\n. And if you’re lucky enough to find yourself at the Minnesota State Fair this summer, you can stop by the iconic 1919 Root Beer stand and grab a glass poured straight from the tap.","attrs_markdown":"\n\n[Skip to content](https:\/\/www.allrecipes.com\/why-shoppers-love-1919-root-beer-11922159#main)\n\n[Allrecipes](https:\/\/www.allrecipes.com\/)\n\n- Please fill out this field.\n  Please fill out this field.\n- [Newsletters](https:\/\/www.allrecipes.com\/why-shoppers-love-1919-root-beer-11922159)\n- [Sweepstakes](https:\/\/www.allrecipes.com\/sweepstakes)\n- [My Saves](https:\/\/www.myrecipes.com\/)\n\n[Allrecipes](https:\/\/www.allrecipes.com\/)\n\nPlease fill out this field.\n\n- [Dinners](https:\/\/www.allrecipes.com\/recipes\/17562\/dinner\/)\n  Dinners\n  \n  -

[PepsiCo](https:\/\/www.allrecipes.com\/pepsi-new-prebiotic-cola-on-shelves-11906665) dominate the soda aisle, but we can’t forget that plenty of lesser-known soft drink companies have won the hearts of beverage enthusiasts, too. For instance, [Wild Bill’s Craft Beverage Co.](https:\/\/www.allrecipes.com\/dollar-tree-wild-bill-ring-pop-soda-11745704) is not often seen outside of specialty shops, but when it hit shelves at Dollar Tree last year, fans couldn't contain their excitement. And when [Cheerwine](https:\/\/www.allrecipes.com\/cheerwine-holiday-punch-returns-11853359), a North Carolina-based drink, dropped an unexpected holiday flavor, shoppers immediately stocked up.\n\nRecently, we noticed Redditors raving about an unfamiliar root beer, and we've come to find out, it's a beloved Midwest favorite.\n\n## Why Fans Love 1919 Root Beer\nHailing from [Minnesota](https:\/\/www.allrecipes.com\/recipes\/1776\/us-recipes\/us-recipes-by-state\/minnesota\/), 1919 Root Beer has amassed a devoted following that considers it among the best in its class. The craft soda company is named after the year when the 18th Amendment was ratified, and the Volstead Act was passed, two events that ultimately led to a ban on alcohol in the United States for 13 years.\n\nAnd while the brand wasn’t directly part of the [Prohibition era](https:\/\/www.allrecipes.com\/gallery\/1920s-dessert-recipes\/), the name is a nod to the period when soft drinks, including [root beer](https:\/\/www.allrecipes.com\/article\/best-root-beer\/), saw an uptick in popularity.\n\nSo, what makes 1919 Root Beer special? To start, you won’t find high-fructose corn syrup in its products. The company prides itself on using real sugar as its only sweetener, with the exception of its zero-sugar version, which uses [sucralose](https:\/\/www.allrecipes.com\/article\/baking-with-sugar-and-sugar-substitutes\/). In addition, fans repeatedly mention the soda’s smooth vanilla taste.\n\nOn [Reddit](https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/rootbeer\/comments\/1gzll5g\/1919\/), there are numerous threads dedicated to the fizzy drink. \"Finally got my hands on a can of 1919 and let me tell ya, best canned root beer I've had by far,\" exclaimed one person. \"It's easily my favorite. Love vanilla root beers,\" another wrote.\n\nIn a [separate thread](https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/ToFizzOrNotToFizz\/comments\/wgaosj\/1919_root_beer_from_minnesota_possibly_the_best\/), one reviewer offered insight about the taste. \"Move over A\\&W Root Beer, this is much better,\" they wrote. \"It's quite sweet, has a lot of spice to it, a bit syrupy, and a lot of vanilla to the point that it almost seems like \\[a\\] float in a can.\"\n\n1919 Root Beer is available to purchase from select retailers in the upper Midwest. Fans can also snag cans, bottles, and five-liter kegs (yes, kegs) directly through the [company’s website](https:\/\/www.1919rootbeer.com\/shop\/). And if you’re lucky enough to find yourself at the Minnesota State Fair this summer, you can stop by the iconic 1919 Root Beer stand and grab a glass poured straight from the tap.","meta_canonical":null}

Boilerpipe Text	Coca-Cola and PepsiCo dominate the soda aisle, but we can’t forget that plenty of lesser-known soft drink companies have won the hearts of beverage enthusiasts, too. For instance, Wild Bill’s Craft Beverage Co. is not often seen outside of specialty shops, but when it hit shelves at Dollar Tree last year, fans couldn't contain their excitement. And when Cheerwine , a North Carolina-based drink, dropped an unexpected holiday flavor, shoppers immediately stocked up. Recently, we noticed Redditors raving about an unfamiliar root beer, and we've come to find out, it's a beloved Midwest favorite. Why Fans Love 1919 Root Beer Hailing from Minnesota , 1919 Root Beer has amassed a devoted following that considers it among the best in its class. The craft soda company is named after the year when the 18th Amendment was ratified, and the Volstead Act was passed, two events that ultimately led to a ban on alcohol in the United States for 13 years. And while the brand wasn’t directly part of the Prohibition era , the name is a nod to the period when soft drinks, including root beer , saw an uptick in popularity. So, what makes 1919 Root Beer special? To start, you won’t find high-fructose corn syrup in its products. The company prides itself on using real sugar as its only sweetener, with the exception of its zero-sugar version, which uses sucralose . In addition, fans repeatedly mention the soda’s smooth vanilla taste. On Reddit , there are numerous threads dedicated to the fizzy drink. "Finally got my hands on a can of 1919 and let me tell ya, best canned root beer I've had by far," exclaimed one person. "It's easily my favorite. Love vanilla root beers," another wrote. In a separate thread , one reviewer offered insight about the taste. "Move over A&W Root Beer, this is much better," they wrote. "It's quite sweet, has a lot of spice to it, a bit syrupy, and a lot of vanilla to the point that it almost seems like [a] float in a can." 1919 Root Beer is available to purchase from select retailers in the upper Midwest. Fans can also snag cans, bottles, and five-liter kegs (yes, kegs) directly through the company’s website . And if you’re lucky enough to find yourself at the Minnesota State Fair this summer, you can stop by the iconic 1919 Root Beer stand and grab a glass poured straight from the tap.

Readable Markdown	[Coca-Cola](https://www.allrecipes.com/coca-cola-mr-pibb-returns-2025-11840206) and [PepsiCo](https://www.allrecipes.com/pepsi-new-prebiotic-cola-on-shelves-11906665) dominate the soda aisle, but we can’t forget that plenty of lesser-known soft drink companies have won the hearts of beverage enthusiasts, too. For instance, [Wild Bill’s Craft Beverage Co.](https://www.allrecipes.com/dollar-tree-wild-bill-ring-pop-soda-11745704) is not often seen outside of specialty shops, but when it hit shelves at Dollar Tree last year, fans couldn't contain their excitement. And when [Cheerwine](https://www.allrecipes.com/cheerwine-holiday-punch-returns-11853359), a North Carolina-based drink, dropped an unexpected holiday flavor, shoppers immediately stocked up. Recently, we noticed Redditors raving about an unfamiliar root beer, and we've come to find out, it's a beloved Midwest favorite. ## Why Fans Love 1919 Root Beer Hailing from [Minnesota](https://www.allrecipes.com/recipes/1776/us-recipes/us-recipes-by-state/minnesota/), 1919 Root Beer has amassed a devoted following that considers it among the best in its class. The craft soda company is named after the year when the 18th Amendment was ratified, and the Volstead Act was passed, two events that ultimately led to a ban on alcohol in the United States for 13 years. And while the brand wasn’t directly part of the [Prohibition era](https://www.allrecipes.com/gallery/1920s-dessert-recipes/), the name is a nod to the period when soft drinks, including [root beer](https://www.allrecipes.com/article/best-root-beer/), saw an uptick in popularity. So, what makes 1919 Root Beer special? To start, you won’t find high-fructose corn syrup in its products. The company prides itself on using real sugar as its only sweetener, with the exception of its zero-sugar version, which uses [sucralose](https://www.allrecipes.com/article/baking-with-sugar-and-sugar-substitutes/). In addition, fans repeatedly mention the soda’s smooth vanilla taste. On [Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/rootbeer/comments/1gzll5g/1919/), there are numerous threads dedicated to the fizzy drink. "Finally got my hands on a can of 1919 and let me tell ya, best canned root beer I've had by far," exclaimed one person. "It's easily my favorite. Love vanilla root beers," another wrote. In a [separate thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/ToFizzOrNotToFizz/comments/wgaosj/1919_root_beer_from_minnesota_possibly_the_best/), one reviewer offered insight about the taste. "Move over A\&W Root Beer, this is much better," they wrote. "It's quite sweet, has a lot of spice to it, a bit syrupy, and a lot of vanilla to the point that it almost seems like \[a\] float in a can." 1919 Root Beer is available to purchase from select retailers in the upper Midwest. Fans can also snag cans, bottles, and five-liter kegs (yes, kegs) directly through the [company’s website](https://www.1919rootbeer.com/shop/). And if you’re lucky enough to find yourself at the Minnesota State Fair this summer, you can stop by the iconic 1919 Root Beer stand and grab a glass poured straight from the tap.
