Product Information

In 1886, Hires began to bottle a beverage made from his famous extract. By 1893, root beer was distributed widely across the United States. Non-alcoholic versions of root beer became commercially successful, especially during Prohibition. [8] [9]

Root beer was originally made with sassafras root and bark which, due to its mucilaginous properties, formed a natural, long lasting foam, a characteristic feature of the beverage. Root beer was originally carbonated by fermentation. As demand and technology changed, carbonated water was used. Some manufacturers used small amounts of starch (e.g. from cassava) with natural surfactants to reproduce the familiar foaming character of sassafras-based root beer. Some brands of root beer have distinctive foaming behaviors, which has been used as part of their marketing identity. [14] Ingredientsa b c Dietz, B; Bolton, Jl (April 2007).

Beyond its aromatic qualities, the medicinal benefits of sassafras were well known to both Native Americans and Europeans, and druggists began marketing root beer for its medicinal qualities.

The character is known more for his red bowtie and man-child line of insults (“I know what you are but what am I?”) than his culinary knowledge, but in Netflix’s Pee-wee’s Big Holiday (released March 16), Pee-wee (Paul Reubens) takes an uncharacteristic culinary tour of the U.S.
