Random memory while driving home the other day...
Mom said her family used to make their own root beer during her childhood (in the '30s and '40s). They would store the bottles in the cellar -- a good place, as it was cool and dark-ish.
Every once in a while, though, especially if the house was quiet, there would be this POP!! as one of the seals on the root beer bottles failed and the cork tried to come through the ceiling.
ha ha. I got a root beer for Jonathan from the Amish market and found out that there is root beer and there is fermented root beer. Lesson learned -- both Jonathan and I hated it. Glad I only bought one.
