ROOT & Maine ROOT: A Mix n’ Match Made in Heaven (aka New England)

Call me a hopeless romantic, but I’ve always secretly retained this idea that Prince Charming actually existed. And furthermore, that Prince Perfectly-Chiseled-Cheekbones-Who-Is-Also-An-Able-Carpenter, my island in an ocean of worldly chaos, would one day come riding out of an enchanted forest on a magic pegacorn (half unicorn, half Pegasus).

Instead, I’ve always been the matchmaker. Sigh. This time, it’s for my friend, ROOT. I found her a match. I caught her a catch.

His name is Maine ROOT. He is a line of delicious organic soft drinks brewed in Portland, Maine (a regional long distance relationship), without high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors, or genetically modified ingredients.

Maine ROOT is available in select grocery stores and friendly dining establishments in all 50 states, including Whole Foods , Hannaford, and Flatbread Pizza Co. See a full listing here…

It’s a match made in heaven. I got in touch with Matt and Mark Seiler, Maine ROOT’s fathers, and arranged a blind date with ROOT. While Matt and Mark travel the beautiful US of A in their bio-diesel-powered van spreading the good news about Free Range Root Beer, I’ve been watching the sparks fly between Maine ROOT Root Beer, Maine ROOT Ginger Brew, and Art In The Age ROOT. Check out pics from the most recent, devilish beverage ménage à trois…
