Hey kids,
I'm interested in making rootbeer at home and was wondering if anyone knew where I might be able to buy rootbeer extract in the area. Thanks!

Looks to me like Homebrew Emporium (aka The Modern Brewer) on Mass. Ave. in North Cambridge has it.

Yup, Modern Brewery carries it.

They also seem to have the ingredients for this not-from-extract recipe, should you feel like going the full nine yards:

They have everything you need to do homebrew rootbeer, from buckets to books with instructions - that's how we ended up making a batch. We keep meaning to make more, but we're lazy ;P. The guys there were helpful to me and my (male) companion, although I've heard unfortunate things about their treatment of female would-be brewers.

I've never had a negative experience there. I remember the thread here on that subject, and as I recall, it was all attributed to one particular person who no longer works there. (I've got nursing baby in my lap, but I suspect if Ron sees this comment, he'll go find the other post. :)

i believe the "boston shaker" on holland street carries it (at least the "sodastream" flavoring stuff).

Another nearby source of SodaStream everything (flavors, machines, bottles, etc.) is Tags in Porter Square - they've got a display on the first floor :).
