Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Heck of a name for a soda pop. If you have any interest in brewing, you could set up to make a mildly sweet "Hardpan Sassparilla" (or sarsaparilla) for a niche market. http://www.greydragon.org/library/brewing_root_beer.html Har! Funny you should mention that, Joe! When the Kid was 'bout ten or eleven or there 'bouts, Beaver Dick and Minnie Aldinger got us started in makin' our own ~ even still have a copy of the label around here somewheres... I'll post a picture if I come across it whilst unpacking! Good stuff ~ reckon this summer might be a good time to dig out the equipment and start up again. Think we still have a case or so of the cobalt blue "stopper bottles," and a couple of bottle cappers. Thankee for the link!! Top o' the mornin' to ya, Joe! Found one o' the Kid's left over root beer labels - most appropriately stuck in his SASS membership frame. Sassparilla Kid's Root Beer ~ picture at 'bout age 8 Just for comparison, here's the kid last April, with the most delightful Fannie Mostly: Sassparilla and Ms Fannie I reckon the bug's done bit, and as soon as we get settled into the new digs we'll be turnin' out a few batches...
