Do Brits drink root beer?

I know they think the concept of cinnamon gum is grody, but what about root beer?

'Root Beer is a non-alcoholic fermented soft drink made from a wide combination of ingredients. As each recipe can vary wildly, each brand or recipe will have it's own unique taste. The drink gets its name from its unique texture.

Like alcoholic beer, root beer will normally have a thick and foamy head when poured. While root beer is so popular in the US & Canada that you will often find it alongside Coke and Pepsi drinks in fast food restaurants and available to buy in cans or bottles in most supermarkets, it is relatively unknown in the UK.

This may be due to the fact that when many try root beer, they compare the flavour to the smell you get from antiseptics. However to those who give it a chance, they end up loving it. This creates a problem though as the drink is not commonly available in the UK. '
