    For a long time I thought it to be just a made up thing, like Saurian Brandy or so.
    But I would like to at least taste it once. Must ask at our local US store if it has some…

        The beverage may also available in the UK, but maybe under an different name.

        From Wikipedia:

        sarsaparilla remains available in the United Kingdom as a legacy of the temperance movement.

      Look for the brand 1919. they’re fantastic, but not the best since that title belongs to a local pop factory in my state. Mug is mid and a&w is only good at the restaurant

        I most frequently have A & W; it’s pretty rare we get anything else. I don’t think I’ve had a lot of Mug; I’ve certainly had some before, but it feels like I see more A & W and Barq’s around my area. I don’t think I’ve ever actually been to an A & W; all the Las Vegas locations had been closed for years (and still are) back when I lived in Vegas, and there’s only 1 in the entirety of the Phoenix area where I current live.

        Honestly, for me, root beer is root beer. Also, I rarely drink it as a standalone beverage these days; I mostly just use it in root beer floats. I’d only really choose it if there was no Dr. Pepper around or I was avoiding caffeine.

        Thanks for the tip, but I don’t think I can be picky here.
        Honestly, I would be really surprised if they had root beer at all.
        It is really exotic niche stuff, outside of die-hard ST-fans generally not known…

        In my opinion, it’s not that worth it as a beverage; it’s best enjoyed in a root beer float. Of course, that makes it even more sugary, but it’s at least a pleasurable experience of texture.
