A&W Root Beer is a popular soft drink known for its distinct, sweet flavor and creamy texture. It was created in 1919 by Roy Allen and has since become a classic American beverage. A&W is often served chilled and is available in both regular and diet versions, appealing to a wide range of consumers. The drink is traditionally made with a blend of spices, vanilla, and sassafras, giving it a unique taste. A&W Root Beer is commonly enjoyed on its own or as a float, topped with vanilla ice cream. The brand also operates a chain of fast-food restaurants that serve root beer alongside burgers and fries.
