Sioux City Birch Beer

A cheery-red root beer knockoff that will be of interest mainly to hardcore Dr Pepper enthusiasts, Sioux City Birch Beer is a forgettable beverage, though not particularly offensive. It's easy to see why in the Darwinian battle of the root beverages, root beer has emerged as the clear winner while birch beer has foundered in obscurity since the time of the handlebar moustache.

The keen marketers at Sioux City have tried to capitalize on the rampant "wild west" nostalgia craze by featuring three such moustachioed cowboys on the label. I was bored before I even started drinking it, to be honest.
