Mug Root Beer is a brand name of root beer made by the Pepsi company.

Mug was first produced by the Belfast Beverage Company in San Francisco, California during the early 1950s. Its name was changed to Mug Old Fashioned Root Beer. In the late 1960s, Sugar Free Mug (now Diet Mug Root Beer) was introduced. Mug Cream Soda (and Diet Mug Cream Soda) was later introduced, but it is not as widely available. Mug was purchased by Pepsi in 1986.

The Mug can features the company's mascot, a bulldog named "Dog", holding a mug of root beer. On the Mug Root Beer website there is a free online comic to view the dog's adventures, including its botched neutering.
