Celebrate Root Beer Float Day with a FREE Float at A&W on August 6

Shared by 1 Comment

I don’t know about you all, but one drink I have to have at least once a summer is a root beer float, and nobody does it quite like A&W Restaurants.

Their root beer and creamy vanilla soft serve is the perfect treat on a summer’s day, and seeing their logo on expressway signs has been enough to get me to pull off a few times!

I especially love their nostalgic locations, like the drive-in in Dexter. I mean, how cute is this spot? We don’t have many drive-ins near us, so it’s definitely something special to do with the kids!

Root Beer Float Day at A&W

On August 6th each year, the national chain celebrates its signature treat for National Root Beer Float Day.

Stop by any A&W Restaurant on Tuesday, August 6th for a free small Root Beer Float from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. — no purchase necessary. Offer is good for one free small A&W root beer float per person. Valid at participating locations while supplies last. Limit one per person.

Donations to DAV (Disabled American Veterans) are encouraged, so throw them a few bucks for such an awesome cause!

History of the A&W Root Beer Float, courtesy of the website:

It all started with a tiny Root Beer Stand. Entrepreneur Roy W. Allen set up shop on the streets of Lodi, California offering a brand new creamy and refreshing drink served in a frosty mug. It was a hot June day, and Allen thought his concoction would be the perfect accompaniment for the parade honoring the return of World War I veterans. His Root Beer was a hit — a unique and tasty, fresh-made blend of herbs, spices, barks, and berries that has remained a symbol of celebration, innocence, and camaraderie ever since.

Enjoy your tasty treat!
