The beer of roots, nay, gods.

The beer of roots, nay, gods.

It?s funny how little you think of the small things that make you happy until you move out of the country. For me, obviously, its food and drinks. Therefore when I finally hunted down this little gem, I was pretty freaking stoked. Like just won the lottery sort of stoked. It was THAT good. I?ve seen it before, but most cans of American soda that aren?t typically sold over here sell for like, $5 -6 each. These, thankfully, were a bit more affordable.. Nothing is better than a frothy root beer poured over ice (preferably crushed), or better yet, with some ice cream!

The beer of roots, nay, gods.

My partner in chunk Lynsi once created a root beer hollandaise in culinary school I?ve been thinking about a lot lately. Now, thanks to a random Asian store in Adelaide, this dream may actually become a reality. I dig the beer of roots. ~LTG

    I too love A&W. Well kinda……

    When I was a kid, there was one just around the corner. My folks were out for dinner and I was left with a few bucks to go get myself a burger and float. I walked over to the place, pushed the door open and realized someone was following me in so I attempted to keep it open, but the door had broken and the tension was all wonky on it, resulting in my fingers becoming quite smashed and a bit bloody. The manager (who knew my face) offered me whatever I wanted for free. I said “bacon double western burger, onion rings and a large float please.”
    “Oh, sorry, our fryer and broiler are broken today….but I can get you a hot dog to go with that float. Whatever you want, darlin’”
    (Sobbing) “I want two hot dogs and two floats then!”
    I was a somewhat ungrateful little bastard, but hey, these were the days before I would sue their asses for smashing my fingers in their broken door that went with everything else broken that day.
    But through it all, the float was the best I ever had, because it was free.
    Thanks for bringing all that out from storage in my head. Now I need an A&W rootbeer float.
