We’re incredibly proud of this new flavor. We think it honors the rich tradition of old-time Root Beer while offering a delicious new twist we hope everyone from Cajun Country will be proud of. Here’s a little background:
Jambalaya, Crawfish Pie, Filé… Root Beer? The Choctaw Indians introduced early Cajuns to Filé powder (ground sassafras leaves) to treat a variety of ailments and to thicken the soups and stews that would eventually become known as Gumbo. Sassafras is also a traditional brewing spice in root beer. Swamp Pop Filé Root Beer highlights this classic Louisiana flavor, creating an herbal profile reminiscent of early, traditional root beers. Enjoy ice cold or over vanilla ice cream & Laissez Les Pop Tops Rouler!
