To be precise, there's no way to buy root beer in Poland (maybe in those big and expensive shops with all-imported stuff, like Alma or such), but we have another drink, kwas chlebowy (that's kvass for you, english-speakers, or gira, for WoodenRat). Recepture is about 1000 years old, and still you can buy this in every grocery shop or supermarket, sadly, mostly in plastic bottles. It can also be relatively easy done at home.
It tastes like Coca-cola mixed with a portion of Guiness, but it's really refreshing!
I love gira! It has a pretty unique taste.
