National Root Beer Day

Stick a mug or two into the freezer. Then, join us as we celebrate National Root Beer Day with a frosty mug of root beer soda.

Root beer was originally used for medicinal purposes. It was used to treat a variety of common ailments, including aches, colds, fevers, rheumatism, skin conditions, and upset stomachs. Later, people discovered the great refreshing taste of root beer. Then, it became popular as a soothing and relaxing beverage. During the late 1870s, soda manufacturers began to make it carbonated. Then, its popularity took off.
