Root Beer- where can I get it in the UK?

GemmaE

My OH loves root beer, but I've never been able to find it locally (norfolk), does anyone know where I might be able to find some for him?

Sorry I know its not really MSE, but wanted to treat him for christmas if possible

TIA

Asda sell packs of 6 cans made by Carters, you also used to be able to get it in Sainsbury's but I am not sure if they still do it.

Yankee Soda sell 24 can cases of A&W Root Beer (one of the more popular US brands) for £18.99. You can also get A&W in Cotsco sometimes

or you can try your local chinese supermarket, i know i get mine there,(i'm in scotland), and its the a&w brand, there's another brand, and it's called Sarsi.

I have to admit to not liking root beer at all, but I know you can get some at Ocado and so probably Waitrose. The brand is Bundaberg, Aussie I think.

mmm... germoline!

I had a root beer float when I went to the states last year, because someone said 'you've gotta have a root beer float!'. It was OK but not something i'd want more than once.

I love root beer. The only place I can buy it round by me is Ocado, Waitrose and some health food shops. It is on offer in Waitrose and on Ocado at the moment

If you go here

or more specifically here

I think this is what the OP is looking for.

The shop has a branch in the Milton Keynes Shopping centre, but they do also ship stuff. It is however quite expensive, as it's all imported from the USA. You're looking at £1.30 a can and then shipping on top.

When I've been down in MK, this shop is usually a regular port of call as I like the cans of Mountain Dew !!

Thanks guys, thats really helpful. Can't stand the stuff myself but OH seems to like it!

Will try and order online as this will probably be easier

Thanks again!

Waitrose have 4 packs of Rootbeer on special at the moment - think I paid £2.45 or £2.65.
