- Manufacturer:
- Bottled under license from Tommyknocker Brewery - Vancol Industries, Inc. Denver, CO 80229, 1-800-422-6112
- The Pitch:
- Tommyknockers slipped into Colorado gold camps with the immigrating Cornish miners during the 1859 rush. These
mischievous elves guided many a fortunate miner to the "Motherlode". Renew the legend - share a TOMMYKNOCKER
ROOT BEER with a friend.
- The Ingredients:
- Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Caramel Color, Herbal Brew (Mountain Cherry, Mountain Maple, Valerian Root,
Fenugreek, St. John's Wort, Melissa, Birch, Licorice Root, Hops Extract, Malt Exctract, Maple Syrup, With Other
Natural Herbs and Flavors), Citric Acid, Sodium Benzoate (To preserve freshness)

Spike says:
- A moderately strong taste, medium carbonation, acceptable aftertaste. The flavor is very reminiscent of hard
root beer-flavored candy. Hard root beer-flavored candy is about my least favorite taste, next to black licorice.
Also, what's with the home remedies they've thrown in? Let's see, St. John's Wort to combat depression and stress,
Fenugreek to clear the respitory system and help promote lactation, Valerian Root to relax you and get rid of your
headache, and Melissa to fight fever and flatulence. Drink enough Tommyknocker 1859 and you'll be relaxed, gas-free,
and give milk to boot! And if you take their advice and "share [it] with a friend", you'll soon be friendless.
Despite all the medicinal herbs, it's apparently not poisonous (as I am still here to write this) so I won't consider
the ingredients in my rating. Based solely on taste, I give Tommyknocker 1859 a D.
