Let us mourn the loss of one of the great small craft root beer and birch beer makers in this country. S & O'K was recently discontinued by its brewer/bottler/sole distributer. Their birch beer, especially, was superb. They said there was not enough demand.

Of course, they might have had this problem because they never figured out how to ship the stuff without breaking a large per centage of the bottles. They were so busy being quaint that they forgot to make a profit.

I tried to have a friend bring a few cases down this way but, when he got there, they were all gone.
