A&W Root Beer is wonderful. It’s been around forever and I still enjoy it immensely. I also enjoy the bottle it comes in. The bottle is shaped like an old fashioned medical inhaler, or “pot de chambre”. It’s funny what long drink containers start to look like when they get old.

During my trip to Atlanta I visited the new A&W Root Beer stand. This classic brand is back in a big way and has some fun flavors that you have to try like Strawberita, Salted Caramel, and Red White & Blue.

I’ve been dying to try root beer floats since I got back from spring break. If you’re like me, then go out and get yourself some A&W Root Beer (or any brand) and make a few.

Today I’d like to share a couple of pictures of what I think is the best root beer in the world, A&W Root Beer. I don’t know if they also sell it outside Canada (I lived there for 10 years), but if they do that’s awesome!

A&W Root Beer is one of the oldest and best selling root beers in the United States. It is owned by the Barq’s Company which manufactures Dr. Pepper. With a history dating back to 1919, A&W Root Beer was very popular during the 90s and early 2000s. A&W Root Beer is now available year round but most of its sales occur during the summer months.
