Dad's Old fashioned Root Beer

Dad's Root Beer was created in the 1930s by Barney Berns and Ely Klapman in the basement of Klapman's Chicago-area home. Dad's was officially a company on February 14, 1937. Dad's earned a loyal following. Dad's Dad's became very popular in the 1940's. Jules Klapman, son of co-founder Ely, successfully made Dad's brand international. The name Dad's Old Fashioned Root Beer was selected in honor of Ely Klapman's father, and other fathers who made root beer at home for their families.
