Rootbeer in the UK

[Soop]

Anybody know where I can get rootbeer in the UK (hopefully at less than import prices)?
I managed to pick up some carters, but it's a little soft for my taste. The old McDonalds stuff was great.

I'm going to go off on a limb and ask if anyone might know where I could find any type of Root Beer in Ireland- spec. the Limerick area. I'm an exchange student from the US and it's one thing I've been craving for since arriving here. I did find Ginger Ale at Tesco! So it's start :)

IKEA sells a root beer for 65p for a 500ml bottle in its food section. But I have yet to try the product

:O

I'm going to Ikea.

I went to Cyber Candy today and they have a special offer on big bottles of AW Root beer - its 1.99 a bottle (sorry my pound sign isn't working on my keyboard!) Not sure if its cheap or not but thought some of you root beer fans may be interested

You can get A&W at the Thai Food market on Camden High St. Halfway between Mornington crescent and Camdentown

Yep, just came here to post that. Alternatively, Oriental City Supermarket on Queensway also sells it (around 55p a can in both shops)

[Soop]

You guys are both awesome :)

If you're close to a Wing Yip supermarket, they also sell A&W in cans. ~50-60p a can.

A&W rootbeer at www.cybercandy.co.uk for 88p a tin.

[Soop]

That's if you buy 24+ - and the delivery is £5 minimum, meaning it's actually £1.41 per can.
It's doable as a last resort, but it's a far cry from the 23p a can at Asda!

americansoda.co.uk is slightly cheaper at roughly £1 a can (for 24) including shipping. They frequently do offers.

I found this: http://www.alcoholfree.co.uk/product_...

But I might go for American Soda. The goose one in the link got a good review from root beer barrel.

I've seen it as Asda...

[Soop]

Yeah, that's the Carters stuff I got. I think that's all they do

How's the taste?

[Soop]

I tried one today, and it's not actually too bad. Not too sweet, fairly smooth, and the taste isn't bad. It just tastes a little artificial (which it is) and not quite "rootbeery" enough.
