I like the olde tyme medicine / cocktail bitters type taste!
I had a fun time last year outside of Pittsburgh there was a diner that had the original soda fountain in it, and I ended up talking with the soda jerk about a lot of the oddball ingredients and he gave me some of the phosphates and I was tasting them straight up and mixing them with flavors in different proportions and such.
A-Treat has an online store now, with the brown and white birch beers both available, as well as the pumpkin cream and cranberry ginger ale holiday flavors, which I also love. There’s a few other Pennsylvania birch beers, the PA Dutch red version and the clear Kutztown ones are on Amazon I saw, but the A-Treat is the most local to where I live.
It was a blast. We went to grab breakfast on our way out of town and this place popped up as I was looking for the best breakfast along the way. It intrigued me that a pharmacy was the number 1 rated breakfast spot.
It’s Lincoln’s P&G. Half the place is a regular pharmacy, and the other is a diner/soda fountain. This is the menu with the soda specials and they have a bunch of old photos of the place on this page.
They advertised top notch pancakes, which I’m usually meh about, but these were light and had a nice crispy outside that seemed to set them apart. Good stuff if ever anyone is ever passing through there.

That sounds like a lot of fun. The historical soda/medicines are so interesting. I’ll have to take a look at that store.
