One of my top indulgences when it comes to food or beverages is A&W’s Root Beer. I actually wrote about it last year and it was awesome to find out that there are many others who miss their root beer, too.
A&W stores here in the Philippines closed back in 2004. I was one of those who were disappointed by that news ‘cause I super love their root beer floats. That’s why everytime I see cans of A&W root beer when I go grocery-shopping, I can’t help but grab 2-4 cans of it. That’s how much I love root beer.
In my previous post about A&W root beer, someone in the comments section mentioned A&W’s Root Beer Cream Soda.
veeraf: guys, do you know where I can find A&W root beer cream soda? yung vanilla? 😀
I haven’t tried it and wasn’t familiar with it yet, hence I only got to reply to the comment now. Sorry. 😀
Anyway, while we were grocery-shopping at SM Hypermarket in North Edsa, I found it!
I’m a li’l skeptical if I’d enjoy it so I only got 2 cans just so I can have a taste. How was it? Imagine enjoying a mug of A&W’s Root Beer float, with the vanilla ice cream already completely mixed with the root beer. It’s a bit sweet for my taste, but I super enjoyed it when it was really ice-cold. Great for those days when you just want to sit back and enjoy a movie with popcorn or homemade burgers. Wew. 😀
I’m not sure if this is available at Robinson’s Supermarket ‘cause it’s not available at their branch in Victory Mall in Monumento. All I know is it’s available at SM Hypermarket in SM North Edsa. So, if you want to really try this, no need to scour the Metro to buy them.  Didn’t find them in Mall of Asia, but will try looking next time we shop there. Will update this post!
Have you tried A&W’s Sparkling Vanilla Cream Soda? How was it?
Ohhh I didn’t know there’s vanilla flavor! I hope there are some available here in SM Makati…
tempting! but I still want the vanilla ice cream on top. *pouts* Sana balik nila A&W kahit na yung rootbeer float lang, hahaha! wala pa ring katumbas.
Yeah, same here! I still prefer the real deal. Kahit na rootbeer float lang nga hahahaha. But, I make my own na lang at home whenever I get a chance to buy cans of A&W. :))
pwede! regular A&W rootbeer + sandmakmak na vanilla ice cream!
it’s available in landmark makati…i’ve bought that before.
wow, now that’s what i called craving. I so love A&W too, actually i had one yesterday. he he he.
 This made me crave! I was still a child when I last tasted A&W.
Hi! Are these available in MOA now?
Hi, Jari. I think you already got our response through Facebook. Good luck finding this! I’m sure SM Hypermarket has them (we saw a couple last time we were in MOA).
