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.

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!
