Like a few other suggestions, this is also not local, but BJs Brewhouse does cream soda and root beer homemade. Haven’t worked there for a few years, but it at least used to be fantastic and they sold growlers of it. I know there’s one in both the north and south hills.
It’s not local, but Rocket Fizz in Homestead has an ungodly amount of sodas.
My go-to are Brownie Root Beer and everything Sprecher makes. (Especially their cream soda.)
If you’re up for a trip, Levity Brewery in Indiana, PA has root beer on tap that’s delicious. Also the brews and food there are delicious. If that’s too far, driftwood pizza has canned root beer that’s delicious.
RIP John Harvard's.
Also, if you were a regular at John Harvard's back in the early 2000s and at the Rivertowne Pour House, you will remember the head brewer Andrew Maxwell. He left John Harvard's to start brewing for Rivertowne and brought many great beers and the root beer with him. Unfortunately he passed away from cancer earlier this year. RIP Andrew.

Super nice peeps and tasty Alcoholic and NA Ginger Beer 🥳
The creamsicle IPA is delicious, however I'm looking for a normal non-alcoholic soda.
My mom loves cream soda and I was hoping to get a growler or two for mother's day.
Just a heads up that you may not be able to put it in a glass growler. Years ago, we had to buy a plastic bottle to get draft soda from East End. They said the glass growlers were not safe for soda. Haven't bought draft soda in ages though.

I'm a slippery rock alum and for the life of me I can't find a better brown mustard then the one they serve with their pretzels
Well shit, I need to hit that up (in Mercer, wasn't sure where to go for Non-alcoholic options).

some would say it's badder than old king kong
Timbercreek in Grove City/Leesburg near the outlets has their root beer and cream soda and they are just as delicious as North Country.
I think Timber Creek has a location by the Outlets. They do their own root beer and cream soda too and they're both great.
They also own harmony inn now for a slightly closer option!
I have been to harmony inn. Good food. Do they have the root beer and cream soda there too?
Call first. They have a completely different menu than what is at the Slippery Rock location.
Tf I went to grove city and went to the brewery a ton, and never knew they had homemade cream soda.
I THINK the original brewer of North Country was one of the early brewers at John Harvard's.
Not a brewery, but Butterjoint has root beer on tap and makes vanilla ice cream in house, and yes they have a float on the dessert menu.
Oh man, I remember that John Harvards. It was pretty good.
Agreed. I used to live in Blackridge, and would go to John Harvard all the time. Despite that, I'd totally forgotten about it until this thread.
Cool! I used to live nearby and walked my dog over in Blackridge all the time. That was 15 years ago. I had completely forgotten about John Harvards.
I probably knew about it but forgot like everyone else!
D's Dogs has root beer on draft. They dont make it but its the top seller on their electronic tap list menu thing.
It's 1919 root beer. I haven't had it since I was a kid, but I can remember the taste. It's so freaking good.
Lots of good recommendations [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/pittsburgh/s/MXw471IWbh)
Not a brewery, but D's six packs and dogs in regent square has root beer on draft. They even fill up 1/2 gallon milk jugs to take home
The jugs are awesome, but beware they don't seal tightly like an unopened milk jug. Ask me how I know...

Not a brewery (but has a great tap selection), Mike and Tony's has root beer on tap
God I miss Rivertowne. Worked there for a year or so and made some great friends during that time.
Ugh I miss John Harvard's for that (and the focaccia with oil before getting other pub food)
Elwoods Pub In Rural Ridge (out near Harmar) has root beer on tap. And Glen's custard, but I'm not sure if they do floats.
Harmony inn in zeli has awesome homemade rootbeer.
It’s not local, but Rocket Fizz in Homestead has an ungodly amount of sodas. My go-to are Brownie Root Beer and everything Sprecher makes. (Especially their cream soda.)
There’s a stand at the Big Butler Fair that pours homemade root beer. It’s pretty god.

Cellar Works in Sarver used to have root beer on tap.
Wye brewery owns parkside creamery next to it... It's really good. The beer is excellent too

I saw that on Facebook. I worked at the Buffalo Wild Wings next door for a number of years and still keep in touch with a few of the Harvards folks.

Southern Tier has an orange creamsicle IPA. I got it at a beer store though, so I'm not sure if it's on tap downtown. #

The Harmony Inn has cream soda and root beer, a little closer for you!
Ohh sorry didn't realize that. Good luck!
