Ever had a "beer float?"
 

Those that have been paying attention may have noticed that on Sundays I take the day off to go on a bike ride. Frequently we end up at a brewery. I have noticed that a few of them offer a root beer float, but with real beer instead of root beer.

I don't know about you, but there isn't much that sounds appetizing about putting a scoop of vanilla ice cream in my beer. Have you tried it? Is it better than it sounds or should I stick with my beer, straight up?

Haven't seen anything like that around here but I do miss all the old A&W's that we used to have.

When I was a kid, my grandfather used to make them, but I never got to taste them. My grandmother would boil the beer and cook it down a bit, then add brandy and ice cream.

A&W is pretty good.


Brandy and ice cream sounds enticing . . . a lot more than beer and ice cream.

hell ya they are, i might have to run down and grab some right now...only bad thing about them is they close hella early:(..as for the beer float, never had one they dont sound all that appetizing tho...

Not something I would try if riding home wearing a full-face helmet. :1orglaugh

I wouldn't want to waste a beer by putting in ice cream

i wouldnt waste an ice cream putting beer in it

You should change your nic to "King of Poop"

Doesn't sound that good. I'd stick to the beer straight.

All depends on the beer really. Something thick with a good taste may be good, but not a Bud Light or anything like that...

I was thinking the same thing, maybe Guinness and vanilla?


.

Guinness was the first thing that came to my mind when I thought of beer floats... Well other than floating shits you take after a long night of beer drinking... Fuck you marketsmart for that thought...

:1orglaugh

No doubt.

:thumbsup

Well, I know the default beer at the place I was at today was a Stone smoked porter. It was thick with a delicious taste, which is pretty much why I wouldn't want to put vanilla ice cream in it.

Now, the Alaskan smoked porter, maybe vanilla ice cream would have helped it. I would never do that to a Guinness either. :error

troll:warning

how about a beer floater

Primarly a lurker but I have noticed your gone on sundays.


They still are around. Often they have merged into a KFC building.


Oh and to make sense of the quote. I have not had one. Could make sense with the correct dark beer though. I wouldnt want to mess up many beer flavors. Then again rootbeers also have deep flavors like beers do so it makes sense.
