A&W Root Beer is an American brand of root beer that was founded in 1919 by Roy W. Allen and primarily available in the United States and Canada. Allen partnered with Frank Wright in 1922, creating the A&W brand and inspiring a chain of A&W Restaurants founded that year. Originally, A&W Root Beer sold for five cents. Roy W. Allen opened a roadside root beer stand in Lodi, California in 1919, using a formula that he had purchased from a pharmacist. He soon opened stands in Stockton, as well as five stands in nearby Sacramento - where "tray boys" pioneered drive-in curbside service. In 1920 Allen partnered with Frank Wright, birthing the A&W brand name. Allen bought Wright out, obtained a trademark, and began selling restaurant franchises - creating one of the first restaurant chains in the United States. Franchise owners could use the A&W name and logo and purchased concentrated root beer syrup from Allen. There was no common menu, architecture, or set of procedures, and some chose to also sell food. By 1933 there were 170 A&W franchises. Franchises struggled with labor shortages and sugar rationing during World War II, but following the war GI loans helped, in part, the number of A&W outlets to triple. The proliferation of the automobile and the mobility it offered resulted in more than 450 A&W Root Beer stands operating by 1950. That year Allen retired and sold the business to Nebraskan Gene Hurtz, who formed the A&W Root Beer Company. The first A&W Root Beer outlet in Canada opened in 1956. By 1960 the number of A&W restaurants swelled to more than 2,000. Source: Wikipedia
@BigOvlogger you are welcome! I will have to send you some Foxon Park root beer to do a review, it's a local soda out of my town that's been around a long time, a lot like Tri Cities Beverages.
Not sure what brand root beer, but Cracker Barrel inside the store has three or four brands that are really good taste. it's that home brew deep taste !

Thanks for joining me.
A&W is one of my favorites too!
Barq's Root Beer used to be my favorite but it seems too overly sweet/sharp now.
Yes, Barq’s is slightly too sweet. I think A&W might be the KING of root beers 🍺!
