Now, the brand has launched a new limited-edition Root Beer Float flavor in collaboration with Fieri, and it&#8217;s quickly proving to be a real crowd-pleaser.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Featuring herbal, earthy spices and notes of vanilla, Waterloo&#8217;s Root Beer Float is a clear winner.
