A&W Canada Brings Root Beer Float Back for a Limited Time

A&W Canada has brought its Root Beer Float back to menus across the country for a limited time.

Available starting June 15, the returning treat pairs A&W Root Beer with vanilla ice cream. Guests can order it at participating A&W restaurants or through the A&W mobile app while supplies last.

The return gives Canadians another chance to enjoy one of A&W’s most requested summer menu items.

A Returning Treat for Summer

The Root Beer Float has long been tied to A&W’s history in Canada.

For many guests, the drink brings back memories of road trips, restaurant stops, and warm-weather visits with friends or family. Even after it left menus, customers continued to ask when it would return.

Now, A&W Canada is bringing the float back as a limited-time summer item.

What’s in the A&W Root Beer Float

The A&W Root Beer Float combines two simple parts: ice-cold A&W Root Beer and vanilla ice cream.

Together, the drink has the fizz of root beer and the creaminess of ice cream. It works as both a beverage and a dessert, making it a fit for summer takeout, drive-thru stops, and casual meals.

At the centre of the item is A&W Root Beer, one of the brand’s best-known drinks in Canada.

A&W Canada Responds to Guest Demand

According to A&W Canada, the Root Beer Float remained a frequent request from guests after it disappeared from menus.

“There is something special about the connection Canadians have with our Root Beer Floats,” says Susan Senecal, CEO and President of A&W Canada. “They are woven into Canadian summers, from road trip pit stops to enjoying a float in a frosty mug with the whole family. We’re excited to bring this tradition back today and invite long-time fans and a new generation to enjoy it together.”

The limited-time return is meant to give both longtime fans and newer guests a chance to order the float again.

Available While Supplies Last

The A&W Root Beer Float is available now at participating restaurants across Canada.

Guests can visit their local A&W or order through the A&W mobile app starting June 15. Since the item is only available for a limited time, availability may vary by location.
