A&W is reviving one of Canada's most nostalgic summer traditions: the Root Beer Float.
Starting June 15, the drink returns to participating A&W locations across the country for a limited time. The float combines creamy vanilla ice cream with fizzy, ice-cold A&W Root Beer served in the chain's signature frosty mug.
"There is something magical about the connection Canadians have with our Root Beer Floats," said Susan Senecal, CEO and president of A&W Canada. "They are woven into the fabric of Canadian summers, from nostalgic road trip pit stops to savouring a float in the frosty mug with the whole family. We're excited to revive this tradition today, inviting both long-time fans and a new generation to enjoy this timeless treat together."
The float will be available while supplies last. This launch follows A&W's earlier introduction of smash burgers, also offered for a limited time.
