Does anyone know of a place that sells rootbeer in New Zealand?

Root beer is actually getting somewhat popular in small bounds, no leaps yet.
It's available at a store in my local mall here in Brisbane at Stafford City and guess what? Its' A&W no less!
Keep lookin is what I say.
There is also what they call sarsparill of sars for short but being from Canada, I aint drinkin no sars! LOL
Enjoying the heck out of this country!

Tried to convince the kids L&P was just as good. Very unsuccessful!

If you live in Palmerston North they sell A&W for 2.50 a can at Red Latern in the Plaza Mall Foodcourt. Next time I go in there I aim to ask if they can sell it in boxes coz I can never get my fix often enough.

Otherwise I'd say Davis trading, New World outlets and the dodgy corner dairys would be the best places to look for it. Also seen it in a dairy in Motueka of all places, but nowhere else yet.

Good Luck

Good to know, thanks for the tips! I'm wholly addicted to root beer and this is just one less thing to worry about being deprived of now :)

Dear Rootbeer;

You might consider another choice. Make your own. It will be Much better and Much cheaper. There are many receipts for root beer on line. Your simply need a small bottle of root beer concentrate, some sugar and yeast and you brew it up somewhat like home made beer. However, the percentage of alcohol is so low that children can drink it with no noticeable affect. So there you have it, all the root beer you and your friends can drink!

Most of the corner stores in Hamilton carry rootbeer? don't know where you're located but might be worth a shot!
