GRGR(6): English Candy & American Root Beer

[Richard Romeo]

Hey man--

I like Hires, as well. But it is difficult to find.  Had some great ginger 
beer in Northern California last year. A-and hope to again next month.  
Makes Canada Dry taste, well, dry.
Birch being the sweetest is only good for me on special occasions--w/ lots 
of hot mustardy pretzels.
