"Triple XXX"…….born in a brewery!
1895 - Galveston, Texas: Anheuser-Busch Brewing Association of St. Louis, together with local investors, established The Galveston Brewing Company at 34th and Post Office Streets. The brewery had an annual production capacity of 100,000 barrels of beer which it sold locally under the name "Hi Grade". Interestingly, its keg beer was packaged in steel banded oak barrels which were marked with "XXX". When the company began selling soft drink syrups they decided to use "XXX" as the brand name. The United States Patent Office registration statement notes that the brand's trademark had been continuously used since at least as early as April, 1908.

Triple XXX root beer is now featured at the Dr Pepper Museum and Free Enterprise Institute in Waco, Texas as an historic Texas based soft drink brand.

With all the history behind this brand it makes it definitely worth a try!
