Brownstein’s Root Beer

Brownstein’s is, by the community’s reckoning, the first root beer brand in Grand Theft Auto history. It debuts as a prop: a frosted glass mug parked beside an enormous stacked sandwich, catalogued by Viced.gg and flagged by indy100 in its Extended Look roundup. The look is pure A&W drive in nostalgia.

Then you say the name out loud. Brown stain. A Reddit thread did, at length, and Rockstar surely got there first. It is the most on brand possible way to introduce a wholesome family beverage to this series.
