    We had a free standing A&W restaurant in McDonough for a few years. I loved the frozen mugs and root beer on tap...

    I used to hit up an A&W on my way to Deep Creek Lake every year for a float and curly fries.

    I have some vanilla at home, so a stop for root beer is in order.

    There are not too many things I am not a fan of.

    1) Coconut

    2) Sun-dried tomatoes

    3) Root Beer

    4) Scotch

    No scotch? I am sad for you. I'll drink 2 for you tonight.

    Wow!  What a memory.......................the first A & W stand I ever saw.

    I was in Missoula, MT the summer of '55, working for my dad (at the age of 15).  It was a week of hot weather and that icy cold root beer went down real well all week long!

    A&W Root Beer was first made in my hometown of Lodi Ca. & the A&W drive in there was the hot hang out for the kids & their hot rods.

    Not to get technical, but according to chemistry alcohol is a solution...

    Just spent an hour in the coke cola expo here in Atlanta tonight at a Toyota party. They had coke from all over the world for you to try ( and lots of overstocked bars for the coke). And I thought why no coke float. Then got back to the room and read this.

    My first job was an A&W in Kent, Ohio. Didn't sound cool then, but my job was " fountain boy". Still got the mugs more than 30 years later.

    A&W root beer float. a Teen burger and onion rings and your best girl, now SWMBO, gals on rollers doing the serving to the '64 Acadian ragtop - does not get much better. Kingston Ontario, our favorite hangout.

    The Ize Box in Alamo Heights TX made the best root beer ever. The only thing better than their hamburger and a root beer was a hamburger and a root beer float.
