I'm sure I don't have to tell you that Thursday, August 6, 2026 is National Root Beer Day. What you might not realize is we get a free small A&W root beer float between 2PM – 8PM!
You can get all the history and details here on A&W's site, but there's not much to it.
In years past, you had to join their free A&W Mug Club ahead of time and you'd then get a coupon to redeem at your local A&W for the free small root beer float. But this year it doesn't mention anything about joining.
Personally, I'd go ahead and make an account with my freebie email address. When doing so, be sure to enter your birthday to automatically trigger the A&W free birthday food offer each year.
Either way, you just have to stop by A&W to get your float on the 6th. Okay wiseguy, you're right, that's not all you'll have to do. You'll need to walk inside or at least go around the drive-tru and ask for your freebie. It's not like the floats will be sitting outside in the parking lot.
