depending on where it is bottled. The question was if the fountain versions (syrup) contained caffeine or not. My guess is yes.

Does Barq's root beer contain caffeine if it's purchased from the fountain

Thankfully, it has caffeine here in MN.

IDK, but my son acts like he is high on crack after he drinks it

I don't know but Barq's has to be the worst root beer out there.

I prefer it, actually. It tastes like a cross between birch beer and root beer.

I like birch beer but I think it tastes more like Coke than anything.

That's funny, because I really don't like the flavor of cola.

When bottled in SLC Barq's is caffeine free.

If the area is serviced by Swire Coca-Cola it is CF

You can verify that's true for fountain dispensed as well?

Northern California. I'm interested in Barq's from the soda fountain only

In NorCal it is caffeinated. Yes I can verify this that in Swire's territory

fwi, it does have very little though. About half of what a coke or diet coke has

are you asking for health reasons or WoW reasons? Just curious?

Neither. I rarely drink caffeine anymore because at one time I was

The Barq's in a Coke Freestyle Machine evidently is CF.
