About Barq’s®
A classic American root beer with a bold bite since 1898. From a Southern start to nationwide recognition, Barq’s® blends heritage, flavor, and innovation—now shared widely through The Coca‑Cola Company’s global reach.
Barq’s® began in 1898 in Biloxi, Mississippi, created by chemist Edward Barq. First produced by Biloxi Artesian Bottling Works, the brand quickly stood out and grew from a local favorite into a well-known American soda name.
Barq’s® is famous for “Barq’s Has Bite.” Our signature taste uses spices such as sarsaparilla and includes a small amount of caffeine, delivering a crisp, lively finish—distinct from many traditional root beers.
From the American South to tables across the country, Barq’s® has spent more than 100 years earning its place in classic U.S. soda culture. It’s a nostalgic icon that still feels fresh, bold, and relevant today.
Barq’s® offers the classic Root Beer, plus options like Zero Sugar and Caffeine Free, along with flavor extensions such as Red Creme Soda. Since joining The Coca‑Cola Company in 1995, availability expanded widely.

The Perfect Root Beer with a Kick!
I've been drinking Barq's Root Beer for over 20 years, and it remains my absolute favorite. What sets Barq's apart from other root beers is that bold, slightly spicy flavor and the fact that it contains caffeine. Most root beers are caffeine-free, but Barq's gives you that extra boost when you need it. The carbonation is perfect—not too heavy, not too light. Whether I'm enjoying it ice-cold on a hot summer day or pairing it with a burger and fries, Barq's never disappoints. The taste is authentic and robust, with just the right amount of sweetness. If you want a root beer that actually has some bite to it, Barq's is the way to go!

Red Cream Soda is Underrated!
I recently discovered Barq's Red Cream Soda, and I'm honestly shocked it's not more popular. The flavor is incredibly smooth and creamy with a delicious vanilla taste that's not overly sweet like some other cream sodas. The red color makes it fun and nostalgic, reminding me of old-fashioned soda fountains. It pairs wonderfully with desserts or just as a special treat on its own. My kids absolutely love it too, and I appreciate that it's a nice alternative to the usual cola options. The Barq's brand really knows how to create quality sodas with distinctive flavors. If you see Red Cream Soda at your local store, definitely grab a bottle!

Great Taste, Caffeine Bonus!
As someone who needs a little caffeine boost throughout the day but doesn't always want coffee or energy drinks, Barq's Root Beer is my go-to choice. The caffeine content isn't overwhelming—just enough to keep you alert without the jitters. The flavor is rich and complex with notes of vanilla, wintergreen, and that signature sassafras taste. I love that it's widely available and affordable compared to craft root beers. It's become my favorite mixer for root beer floats too—the caffeine adds an interesting twist to a classic dessert. Barq's has bite, indeed! Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys a flavorful, refreshing soda with substance.
