Homemade Root Beer

Looks like a good day to head out to the Battle of Selma and buy a bottle of homemade root beer or lemonade.

Little John's Homemade Root Beer is one of the most popular sutleries in Selma every battle weekend. The drinks are manufactured on site and served from wooden barrels into heavy, glass bottles that can be refilled at a discount. I still have my blue bottle from last year, and while root beer isn't my preference, the lemonade is the best you will ever find anywhere!

Little John's Homemade Root Beer

This photoblog is for those who got thirsty while checking out the "Refreshments" entry of yesterday.

The lemonade and cherry fizz and root beer are special recipes made by Little John's Root Beer in Kansas. I found a website for them. Just click on the green or go to littlejohnsrootbeer.com or email RootBeerPatty@att.net.

(I do not own any part of their brisk business!)

They strictly sell at period festivals and living history events, and according to web reports, make this delicious brew in their basement. The best part: Keep your antique bottle, and next year (or at another event this year) they will give you a refill at reduced cost! I imagine those Civil War reenactors travel from battle to battle with their Little John's bottles!
