		Modern root beer is closest in flavor to the last method because of its high sweetness level, although no modern commercial root beers use yeast or contain any alcohol at all, as I will explain in a moment.
		Hires was the first to commercially produce root beer in bottles, and he was a great promoter as well.
		Root beer purists claim that the flavor of artificial sassafras is not the same as the original, and they complain that many modern root beers rely too heavily on wintergreen, anise, cloves, lemon oil and orange oil.

		Root Beer, and its cousins, Ginger Beer, Birch Beer and Sarsaparilla, are the quintessential American drinks that never quite lose their nostalgic, old-fashioned, don't-make-it-like-that-anymore mystique.
		Another story is that Hires and his bride were on their honeymoon at a New Jersey guest farm and that Charles fell in love with the owner's herb tea.
		Because there is truly no such thing as one "authentic" root beer, but rather many, wonderful, interesting, sometimes delicately-nuanced variations in "real" root beer, no one can do a true "Pepsi challenge," but panels form and judge judge and some of the same brands turn up regularly at the top of their lists.

	The Great Root Beer Story
		Hires root beer, while not quite as good as A&W, was still very tasty and put up quite the competition for A&W. After a while Hires decided to give people the option of having their root beer "caffine free".
		Hires realized what was going on and decided they too needed to get back in the business, but knew it would be unwise to just go jumping back in without some strategic planning.
		Hires knew that they had to come up with a new taste that was even better than the old one, so they did that, and they realized that people wanted the caffine, so they kept that in too.

	Hires Root Beer Falsely Portrayed As 'America’s Original Root Beer'
		The fact is that Hires “decided” to use the term “root beer” simply because that was the well established name of the beverage which his preparation was designed to produce.
		Indeed, the American colonists drank root beer—sometimes slightly fermented, sometimes not—which was then called “small beer.” Hires might well be the oldest brand of root beer on the market in the United States, but it is hardly the original root beer.
		What is entirely certain is that Hires did not produce the “original” root beer in the United States and he was not the first to use the words “root beer” to describe a beverage.

	Does Hires Root Beer Date Back 120 Years?
		So, the only way Hires Root Beer could be said to date back more than 120 years is if you take into account the glasses of root beer Charles Hires sold to customers at his drug store.
