I wasn't a big fan of root beer, either, as Coke was my drink of choice. But this was really special. It made a really good float, too. The canned and bottled A&W root beer just don't taste the same. They had dispensers that looked like huge barrels, then put the root beer in those frosted heavy glass mugs. Lots of foam, and really refreshing.

They had the best burgers & malts in the world and 1 of those rootbeer barrels. Joe
