Beer Floats – Fizzy Insult or Carbonated Classic?

Depending on whom you talk to, making ice cream floats with beer is either a genius idea, or a horrible mistake. In fact, I remember hearing one food writer describe a local beer float tasting as “fizzy insults,” which is a intelligent phrase, but not necessarily true, whether the pairing is done properly.

The key is to choose a beer that’s on the toasty, malty, sweeter side, and stay absent from beers that are too hoppy, dry, and bitter. But fair warning, even using a sweet, mellow brew, this is fairly a dwhetherferent experience, which is why I proposeed having some regular root beer around, just in case.

As far as the ice cream goes, there are as many flavors as there are choices of beers, but the securest, and probably most effective option would be plain, ancient vanilla, specificly whether using a fruit-infused brew. The apart fromion to that would be whether you were pouring a dark beer that features chocolate and coffee notes. In that case, a chocolate or coffee ice cream might be just the leang.

But no matter what beer you decide to pair with which ice cream, I’d make a small test glass first, to make certain it works for you and your palette. And whether it doesn’t, don’t feel poor, since you’re still going to be eating ice cream and drinking beer, just not together. Either way, I genuinely do hope you give these beer floats a try soon. Endelight!
