I love birch beer. I used to have it as a kid in a particular restaurant. Even then, it wasn't widely available. A pizza place I sometimes frequent has it, and I always order it when I go there.
I had never even heard of it until I moved to NY, and then I tried every brand available. I loved all of it, even though I am not big on sweet drinks, or pop.
I would get it every now and then as a treat, and I did prefer the clear. Can't remember my favorite brand(s). Boylan I remember as good, and Kutztown I remember as being too sweet.
I had never heard of it until a couple of months ago when I found it for sale at the local Ace Hardware store ( go figure). It tastes OK, but I spilled some on the kitchen counter and it stains really bad.
On the other hand, I recommend avoiding the Björk.
Icelanders use birch in their "Birkir" schnapps, a tasty and high-proof beverage. I've also tried the Björk, but thought it was too sweet.
Birkir is sold in the USA, but unlike BrennivÃn, very few American retailers carry it.
