On August 6, show off your Float Flex—that is, hit us with your best physique-flaunting pose—from 2–8 p.m. local time at any participating U.S. A&W Restaurant and get a FREE Small Root Beer Float.
Tipping scales at a vein-popping 3 lbs. 5 oz., A&W’s world-famous Root Beer Float might just be the heaviest drink in fast food. Other scrawny beverages look like featherweights in the shadow of this colossal All American icon.
It’s hugely delicious…if you can handle it.

It all started with a tiny Root Beer Stand. Entrepreneur Roy W. Allen set up shop on the streets of Lodi, California offering a brand new creamy and refreshing drink served in a frosty mug. It was a hot June day, and Allen thought his concoction would be the perfect accompaniment for the parade honoring the return of World War I veterans. His Root Beer was a hit — a unique and tasty, fresh-made blend of herbs, spices, barks, and berries that has remained a symbol of celebration, innocence, and camaraderie ever since.
A lot has happened and changed since those early days, but much remains the same. We continue to serve our signature made-fresh Root Beer in a frosty mug. On National Root Beer Float Day, we want to honor our company's roots by continuing to provide support for the homecoming of our service members. Visit your local A&W Restaurant on August 6 between 2PM - 8PM local time and celebrate with us! As part of the celebration, we will be collecting donations for DAV (Disabled American Veterans). Contact your local A&W Restaurant directly to confirm promotion details.
Valid only on August 6, 2024 at participating locations from 2PM - 8PM local time. Offer good for one (1) small Root Beer Float per person. Promotion details may vary. While supplies last.
