I'm sure I don't have to tell you that Tuesday, August 6, 2025 is National Root Beer Day. What you might not realize is we get a free 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. All you have to do make sure to join their free A&W Mug Club today and you'll then get a free coupon to take to your local A&W and pick up your free small root beer float.
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.
When making your free Mug Club account, be sure to enter your birthday to automatically trigger the A&W free birthday food offer!
I think you’ve been hitting the root beer a little too hard. Maybe better wipe the foam off your upper lip and ease off a bit for a few months, until, say, August?
Haha, I’ll be sure to post this again closer to August. I was excited to see A&W confirm this annual freebie is returning this summer. A lot of other restaurants I’ve contacted have informed me they’re continuing to postpone their annual promos this summer 🙁
In my part of the country *New England” they also gave away free root beer floats at Walgrens on August 6th
We got our root beer floats about an hour ago! They even gave our dog some free ice cream in a little bowl.

Cool Story (behind the A&W concept, that is)
got my free a&w root beer float yesterday!! thanks a&w in lexington michigan!!
Nice!
I got mine!
cool!!!!
This is a cool event. Right on my birthday too!!!
Man, that was a GOOD one! And the A&W dude said I was so friendly, that he gave me an extra scoop of ice cream. Ahh,, takes me back to when I was a teen. Maybe I’ll have the nerve to ask my girl to go steady!
Be forwarned. I worked for a company that owned an A&W. And the free float is like kid sized!! But still yummy!!
Also this Friday, June 19, is “the “Third Annual National Flip Flop Day.” Tropical Smoothie Cafe is offering a free Jetty Punch smoothie if you wear your flip-flops in. Any excuse to dress down on Fridays works for me.
