Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO -- When celebrity pastry chef Gale Gand lived in England in the early 1990s, the two things she missed most from her native Chicago were Frango mints and root beer. The soft drink, which she associated with childhood summer road trips, was virtually non-existent in the United Kingdom -- as it is most everywhere else in the world.
...
"America is the only place that drinks root beer," said Chris Reed, president of Reed's Inc., the producer of Virgil's Microbrewed Root Beer. "When we have samples of Virgil's at international food shows, non-Americans think we're joking."
...

Includes rankings and taste impressions of Gale's, Sprecher, Berghoff, Boylan, Roundhouse, IBC, Virgil's and Goose Island.
