Seems to me the difference was the Sweetener.  Back in my Day, the Root Beer was made with real cane sugar.  Now, it is High Fructose Corn Syrup.  Not the same taste.
I use to love Mountain Dew.  The New Dew sucks.  Sometime you can find "Classic" Mt. Dew where the use real cane sugar.  You can immediately tell the difference.
That's true, but this was long before everyone switched. But you could be right about the canned A&W, they probably did switch over.

Yeah, that was I was referring to.  The Draught is STILL good, or at least the last time I was there, it was.
I love Stewart's Root Beer, and I think it's maybe the best, for me.  Cracker Barrel used to do Root Beer Floats in Stewart's.  Awesome.
But, I grew up on A & W.  I think the first one I went to was on Holt St., in Ontario, California.  Used to cruise my '67 Chevelle there on Saturday Nights.  Lots of Hot Cars and Hot Girls.  Teenager's Dream.

Could have been in Oceanside, too.  Can't quite remember where I was, 60 years ago.  What a Drag it is, Getting Old.
