Simple Saturday: Beer Floats

People keep talking about how the summer is really ending.

Labor Day has come and gone, vacations have too (for some of us) and bloggers are typically trading tomato pies and zucchini bread for pumpkin anything and everything.

I was against it, until my favorite pumpkin beer came out. I might have already drank some…

In honor of transitioning from long days spent grilling and enjoying the porch to fall leaves, cinnamon and grandfather sweaters, I give you this Simple Saturday special: beer floats.

Whether you’re a beer lover (stout and porter lovers especially) or you just like some homemade ice cream, this is for you! Grab your favorite vanilla or peanut butter porter, Prairie Bomb or whatever is dark and rich with sweet or coffee notes, and throw in a scoop of the best vanilla ice cream you can find.

Just treat it like a normal float…but 100x better, am I right? It’s not just sweet on sweet like your traditional root beer or coke float, but it will have a little hint of bitterness and complexity.

Enjoy!
