New World doesn't necesarily mean not Period.  Period *does* extend beyond 
1492!  <grin>  However, in this case, I believe it was a later invention.

Most real root beer is made from Sassafras which is New World.  Granted I
have seen it entered in SCA beverage competitions which did not require
documentation, but my guess would be that it is out of period...of course
one can end up with root beer with alcohol in it if it is made a bit
differently than the usual
