The craft-beer movement adds another nostalgic flavor

The new bottle on the block is Not Your Father’s Vanilla Cream Ale, flavored with spices and Madagascar vanilla (4.1 percent alcohol by volume). We iced it down and poured it into frozen chalices. Hmm. Smooth, a bit sweet, with a pleasant finish, though we prefer the root beer.

Find six-packs of Not Your Father’s brews for $11 at many area markets and stores. Also served in restaurants and bars.
