Well, I know that it is made from saspirilla roots so that is probably why it is called ROOT beer. Now about the beer, I have no idea. Maybe because it's color makes it look like beer? Maybe you could search it on

Wikipedia

MSN

Google

Yahoo!

You obviously do have no idea. The first sarsaparilla root drink manufactured and sold was introduced at a state fair. The seller named it "root tea", but was quickly advised that people in the area were unlikely to buy it with that name, so he changed it to "root beer" and it sold very well.

Most modern Root Beers are colored with caramel to get that color, the normal color is much lighter.
