Triple XXX Root Beer 12oz

Brand: Soda Pop Shop

Triple XXX Pure Cane Sugar Root Beer

One X on the package symbolized it was good. Two XX meant it was even better. Three XXX was tops—the best of the best. History tells us you can’t get any better than Triple XXX Root Beer.

Triple XXX Root Beer has its roots in the brewing industry and can be traced all the way back to Anheuser-Busch. When prohibition came to Texas in 1916, the company reorganized its soft-drink production in their Galveston breweries to keep their doors from closing. Pretty savvy, right?

Wondering where the Triple XXX moniker came from? It all boils down to distinguishing a product’s excellence; a grading system. Back in the day, sugar, gunpowder, and even kegs of beer were stamped with a certain number of X’s related to the quality, or grade, of the product.
