Drinks Are On Us: Hey Kid, Where’s Your ID?

One of your favorite childhood treats is all grown up now.

The classic Root Beer Float has taken a decidedly adult turn with the Beer Float. For best results, pair your favorite Stout or Porter with some creamy vanilla ice cream and you've got a delicious dessert that's you need to be at least 21 to enjoy!

For wicked local flavor, try combining your favorite locally made brew like this Berkshire Brewing Company Drayman’s Porter with a locally made ice cream like Hood French Vanilla.

And if you want to feel even more like a subversive kid, try sticking a straw in it.
