You get a root beer, you get a root beer, everyone gets a root beer when A&W Food Services of Canada brings back Free Root Beer Day July 14.

All A&W restaurants across Canada will be pouring from open to close that day.

鈥淟ast year鈥檚 response to Free Root Beer Day was so great we had to bring it back,鈥� said Susan Senecal, A&W Canada鈥檚 President and Chief Executive Officer. 鈥淲e are thrilled to treat Canadians to our classic A&W Root Beer once again this year.鈥�

Last year A&W Canada unveiled its root beer brewed with natural cane sugar and all-natural flavours. It was a first for restaurants of its size in Canada and marked a significant milestone in the company鈥檚 journey to source natural ingredients.

鈥淎gain and again our guests tell us that they鈥檙e amazed that something so good can come from such simple ingredients,鈥� said Senecal, adding that the natural flavours are what makes A&W鈥檚 root beer so special. Natural cane sugar adds the sweetness; sarsaparilla root for distinct notes of vanilla, caramel and wintergreen; birch bark for subtle minty flavours; licorice adds both sweet and spicy undertones; and anise for the aromatic notes of fennel and tarragon.

Many Canadians recall the taste of a cool and refreshing mug of A&W Root Beer on a hot summer day. Since A&W opened its first restaurant in Winnipeg in 1956, A&W Root Beer has been a star on its drink menu. On Free Root Beer Day, the company encourages Canadians to invite family and friends to celebrate this Canadian classic.
