In the United States and Southeast Asia, A&W is currently a Yum! Brands, Inc.
company. Most A&W locations that have opened in the U.S. in recent years have
been co-branded with one of Yum!'s other chains-Long John Silver's, Pizza Hut,
Taco Bell, or Kentucky Fried Chicken. In some North American chains, A&W is
often referred to as "Awesome Weiner." What started as an internet joke has now
been officially recognized by Yum! brand foods and is featured on some of their
billboards.

There are approximately 700 A&W (A&W Food Services of Canada Inc.) in Canadia -
following on the original location of a store in Winnipeg in 1956. As you say -
they have no official connection to the mess that Yum is making of the proud
old brand.

       Title: A & W Root Beer
  Categories: Five, Beverages, Herbs
       Yield: 5 Cups

     3/4 c  Granulated Sugar
     3/4 c  Hot Water
       1 l  Cold Seltzer Water
     1/2 ts + 1/8 t root beer
            - Concentrate

  1. Dissolve the sugar in the hot water.

  2. Add the root beer concentrate and let cool.

  3. Combine the root beer mixture with the cold seltzer water,
  drink immediately, or store in fridge in tightly covered
  container. The root beer you'll make here is a simplified
  version of Roy Allen's method from the early 1900s. Instead
  of harvesting roots, herbs, and berries, you have the luxury
  of using a root beer concentrate that can be found in most
  grocery stores. In 1922 Allen expanded his business, he
  formed a partnership with entrepreneur Frank Wright. This
  led to the name that would become famous, A&W, the country's
  best-selling root beer.
