- HISTORY OF DUFFY'S In 1929 Frank Duffy developed Duffy's Delicious
Drinks. For 30 years of wonderful production, Duffy's became a household
name in soft drinks. His Duffy's Rowdy Root Beer turned out to be one
of his greatest hits.
Frank died in 1961 to the dismay of all. For the next couple of decades the company changed hands limiting its product line.
In 1990 a new enterprising entrepreneur bought the company, formulas and logos. To the delight of those who knew Duffy's products.

Spike says: - Very dark, lightly carbonated, no head. Strong taste, quite sharp but not unpleasantly so. My amateur tongue thinks the sharpness is due to anise - perhaps that's one of the "natural flavors". My first impression was of root beer candy, but after several bottles I think it tastes better than that. Of course, that's not saying much considering how little I like the taste of root beer candy. The sugar is quite pronounced, but balanced by the tang. Is it rowdy? I wouldn't go that far, but it is stronger than most other brews. No aftertaste, just an "afterburn" on the back of my throat. A bit sweet for my taste, but overall a good root beer. Loses points for excessive anise-ization. Survey says... B-.
