Create Your Own Family Fun Night with A&W Root Beer

By Jo Beth Bootz June 21, 2019


Close your eyes and picture the perfect summer. The cool rush of water from a sprinkler in the backyard, the bright sunshine casting down on the beach, or a perfect campfire with the ones you love, plus... the refreshing and crisp taste of an A&W Root Beer. 

Summer and root beer are the perfect pair when school is out and the heat is on. Whether poured directly from a cold bottle or paired with ice cream for a delicious float, an A&W Root Beer is the quintessential summer drink for both adults and kids. There is nothing better than old fashioned fun, over a timeless treat, where families can make special memories to have for years to come. 

While summer is one of the best seasons for spending quality time together as a family, parents are struggling to compete with life’s distractions, including screen time. According to a survey commissioned by A&W, 78 percent of parents wish their families spent more time together and 84 percent believe that having regularly scheduled family time would help their families spend more quality time together. The combination of busy schedules and constant distractions from cell phones and tablets make it increasingly difficult for families to disconnect so they can reconnect. 

Thankfully, A&W is celebrating its 100th Anniversary with a special focus on helping families create those memorable moments together without screen time distractions. Starting today, A&W Root Beer invites families to make the pledge to go technology-free for 1 hour on Friday nights this summer and make family fun to remember for years to come. 

To help provide families with everything they need to jumpstart their Family Fun Nights this summer, A&W is debuting a first-of-its-kind Family Fun Night box featuring games and, of course, root beer float essentials. Yes, you can find recipes for a Brownie Sundae Root Beer Float and a Campfire Root Beer Float! Don’t those recipes sound delicious? This limited-edition, fun-inducing box is available while supplies last at www.rootbeer.com.

In fact, all families that make the pledge will receive a coupon for a free two-liter bottle to add some pop to their family fun nights.
