BEER FLOATS

Depending on whom you talk to, making ice cream floats with beer is either a genius idea, or a horrible mistake. The key is to choose a beer that's on the toasty, malty, sweeter side, and stay away from beers that are too hoppy, dry, and bitter. Here I pair coffee ice cream with stout and vanilla, the safest option, with a Belgian raspberry sour (or any fruity beer). I'd make a small test glass first, to make sure it works for your palate.

Steps:

  • Combine the carbonated water, sugar and root beer concentrate in an extra-large bowl or punch bowl - something that is food-safe and won't break when the dry ice is added. Don't cover with a lid. Gently stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add the dry ice to the mixture in a well-ventilated area. The mixture will start to bubble. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes to fully carbonate.
  • Ladle some of the root beer into a glass. Top with desired amount of vanilla ice cream.

1 gallon carbonated water
2 1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons root beer concentrate
1 pound broken dry ice
Vanilla ice cream, for serving

10 BEER AND ICE CREAM FLOATS THAT WORK, AND 1 THAT DOESN'T

From hy-vee.com
  • Hefeweizen and Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream. For this winning combo, we used Til the Cows Come Home Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream. An instant success, the subtle flavors of banana and clove from the Hefeweizen are a perfect match for the ice cream’s rich strawberry character.
  • Belgium-Style White Ale and Orange Sherbet. If you’ve ever had a Blue Moon, then you know it’s always better served with an orange slice. So, it came as no surprise that the beer's even more lip-smackingly delicious with a scoop of Hy-Vee Orange Sherbet dropped in.
  • Porter and Chocolate Ice Cream. We all know that porter beers and chocolate go hand-in-hand. But making it a float takes this pairing to a whole new level.
  • Raspberry Sour Ale and Vanilla Gelato. To mimic the flavors of sweet-tart pie and ice cream, we paired a raspberry Berliner Weisse called Raspberry Jam from Tallgrass Brewing Co.
  • Summer Shandy and Orange Sherbet. Sweet, sour, citrusy and refreshing. Summer Shandy is obviously a summer favorite. Making it even better? A scoop of Hy-Vee We All Scream!
  • Brown Ale and Espresso Ice Cream. Love espresso and chocolate? Pair Rogue Hazelnut Brown Nectar Ale with Til the Cows Come Home Espresso Yourself ice cream for a rich and flavorful beer float.
  • Stout and Cherry Ice Cream. Strong flavors of beer pair better with strong flavors of ice cream. That’s why we had to try a generous scoop of Til the Cows Come Home Cherry-Amaretto Ice Cream in a stout.
  • Shandy and Limoncello Gelato. If life gives you limoncello gelato, make a Shandy float. We sampled this one using Leinenkugel’s Summer Shandy and Gustare Vita Limoncello Gelato.
  • Pilsner and Cherry-Lime Sherbet. Bright, light, and mild. Pilsner Urquell Golden Lager makes the perfect base for Hy-Vee We All Scream Cherry Lime Sherbet or Rainbow Sherbet.
  • Amber Lager and Salted Caramel Ice Cream. Love beer AND have a sweet tooth? You're going to love this pairing of Grain Belt Nordeast Amber Lager and It's Your Churn salted caramel pretzel ice cream.
