\"Specialty<\/p>\n

Just a quick note about a little business I’m a fan of*. One of my new favorite hobbies is checking out lesser-known sodas. I’ve mentioned www.sodasamurai.com<\/a> a few times and some have asked what it’s all about, so here’s a quick rundown.<\/p>\n

The site offers a huge variety of specialty sodas<\/a> that you won’t find at your local grocery store. Drinks like birch beer<\/a>, ginger beer<\/a> (for people who are either crazy or Bermudian and like that sort of thing), various creme sodas<\/a> (including blue<\/a>, vanilla<\/a>, orange<\/a>, etc.), some great grape sodas<\/a>, and of course root beer<\/a>. The shipping is very fast (mine only took two days)\u2014and there’s nothing like a big box of liquid refreshment sitting on your porch when you get home after a long day at work.<\/p>\n

Due to the fact that they sell specialty<\/em> drinks, and that the safe shipping of liquids in glass bottles is a long ways from “media mail,” the sodas are a bit more expensive than what you’d find in the grocery store\u2014but about the same as you’d pay at a vending machine. And it’s worth mentioning that SodaSamurai has the best prices you’ll find anywhere online.<\/p>\n

So for the summer BBQ, friendly gathering, or other special event\u2014it’s well worth it to stock up on some of the good stuff.<\/p>\n

*In the interest of full disclosure: The owner of SodaSamurai is a friend of mine and I helped him with some of the site design. But even if I hated the guy, I gotta say he carries some awesome drinks. I recommend checking out the RootBeer Sampler<\/a>. Just be sure to watch out for that dreaded root beer belly<\/a>.<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
