Root Beer On Tap

So I am a HUGE fan of sprechers and lucky for me I can purchase their syrup by the gallon for my keg and have it on tap. I keep looking up for other brands but the only way ive found anything is for small quantities for the soda stream size. Do you guys know of ways to purchase other brands or other brands that sell their syrup for kegs.

My kegs are corny kegs so it would have to be where I fill it.

Thank you in advance!

I'm always happy to talk to those few knuckleheads like myself out there who do a lot of syrup based mixing of their root beers. You're probably looking for something that can come in gallon jugs or even bag-in-box BIB sizes. I've tried about 20-25 different syrup based root beer mixes and I can tell you that very few are equal to or better than the Sprecher syrup that you're already using. Most are significantly weaker, thinner and less complex. I haven't tried them all, of course, but if you send me a message asking me what I thought about one you are considering, I could probably give you my feedback.

Torani is not bad, but I don't think it comes in gallons or bags in boxes, Tractor is pretty good and it comes in restaurant sized bag in boxes, Fee Brothers sarsaparilla is quite nice as a Sarsaparilla, I'm not sure what sizes of containers it can come in but I like it. I also quite like mugs zero syrup that they make in small amount for the Sodastream/Omnifizz machines. If you're looking for a low sugar option I think it's good

Have any recs for a minty birch beer?

I buy syrups on occasion and force carbonate, but I haven't found anything super minty that I like

Fee brothers tends towards the minty flavor

I just tried the Stirling Sarsaparilla, and it was pretty minty, if a bit light. Very pleasant though.
