Where did root beer get it's name?
Answers:
Root beer had at one time (before the food police got involved to protect you from yourself) flavoring from the root of Sassafras.
Because the original recipie used roots, berries, and other herbs.
There are two versions of Root Beer. Non-alcoholic and alcoholic. The name comes from the alcoholic side, (it used to be more common), and refers to its cousin; Beer.
The alcoholic version is made from a combination of vanilla, cherry tree bark, licorice root, sarsaparilla root, artificial sassafras root bark flavoring, nutmeg, anise, and molasses among other ingredients.
Since the beer was made with a lot of "root" or tree ingredients, the name "Root Beer" stuck.
Hope this helps.
Made from root.

Actually, Charles Hires (of Hires Root Beer) originally made a brew out of 16 different roots and berries and he called it Root Tea. He owned a pharmacy store and the taste was sometimes described as "medicinal." To market the drink to local miners, he changed the name to Root Beer. This turned out to be a smart move.
