National Root Beer Float Day
Diet?  Not on August 6. It’s National Root Beer Float Day, after all — a time  to enjoy one of the best beverage/dessert combos on the planet. On that  day, some even compete for root beer float greatness. It all started in  Colorado back in 1893. Frank J. Wisner was inspired. Surrounded by Cow  Mountain where his Cripple Creek Brewing Company was located, Wisner  came up with a novel idea. While mountain gazing, he didn’t see  snow-covered peaks. Instead, Wisner envisioned scoops of ice cream  floating in root beer.  Crazy, right? So, today, enjoy the tallest,  fizziest root beer float you can find!
Note: Read on to find out how you can get a free A&W root beer today!
When is National Root Beer Float Day 2022?
The frothy beverage/dessert combo we all love is celebrated on National Root Beer Float Day on August 6.
History of National Root Beer Float Day
The  unique fusion of ice cream with root beer is unlike anything else. This  summertime delicacy has a history as rich as its texture and flavor!
Frank  J. Wisner, the owner of Colorado’s Cripple Creek Brewing, is the person  to thank for creating the root beer float on August 19, 1893. The idea  behind this extraordinary innovation came to Wisner when he was looking  at the snowy peaks of Colorado’s Cow Mountain that gave the illusion of  ice cream floating on a beverage. While staring out of the window of the  Cripple Creek Cow Mountain Gold Mining Company, Wisner thought the glow  of the full moon made the snow-capped mountains resemble ice cream.
The  following day, Wisner got to work combining vanilla ice cream with root  beer and calling the result the ‘Black Cow Mountain.’ The soda he had  used was Myers Avenue Red Root Beer. The root beer float was served to  his guests the very next day and became an instant hit. Children  shortened the word to ‘Black Cow,’ and today it is simply known as root  beer float.

1960 The FDA bans a key root beer ingredient
The  FDA bans safrole, the aromatic oil that initially gave root beer its  distinctive flavor. The ingredient caused liver damage during animal  testing.
Traditions
Since  its creation, countless root beer floats have been enjoyed throughout  the world. The tradition of the day is to enjoy refreshing root beer  floats. The original recipe has evolved into many variations, each with  their own unique flavor, while retaining the original root beer float  texture.

National Root Beer Float Day Activities
Whip up your own root beer float
Conduct some root beer research
Throw a root beer party for adults
There's  no better way to celebrate National Root Beer Float Day than by  concocting your own root beer float. Grab a bottle of your favorite  brand of root beer, pour into a chilled glass and top off with a fresh  scoop of vanilla ice cream. Nice!
Now, this is the kind of research you can appreciate! The Root Beer Store sells  more than 100 brands and flavors of root beer. You can check out  customer reviews of all the root beers for sale and even order  mix-and-match bottles. Your local specialty liquor store may also have a  pretty good selection, so drink up!
Hard  root beer is blowing up! Clever brewers have come up with root beers  that include varying levels of alcohol. Invite the neighbors over for a  dessert party and imbibe on some root beer floats. But be careful, while  the root beer goes down fast and smooth, it'll eventually catch up with  you.
5 Reasons We Need A Root Beer Float, Like Right Now
Root root
The Philly float
The custard float is a definite thing
Why float when you can freeze?
The root beer float with a kick
Jeni's ice cream shops can double your pleasure with root beer floats made with root beer ice cream and Boylan root beer.
The  Franklin Fountain in Philadelphia creates authentic root beer floats  made with their own brand of root beer syrup and  ice cream.
Scooter's  Frozen Custard in Chicago offers a root beer float made with vanilla  custard, a refreshing twist on the standard float.
Instead of floating the ice cream on top of a glass of root beer, blend the two together to make a root beer freeze.
SpringHouse  restaurant in Alexander City, Alabama, serves up a bourbon float made  with Buffalo Trace bourbon, bourbon ice cream and a house-made root beer  syrup.
Why We Love National Root Beer Float Day
It's a perfect combination
Floats come in many varieties
It generates donations for a good charity
It ��seems like such a simple recipe — root beer  in a tall, iced glass and  two scoops of vanilla ice cream.  But if you're trying to get beyond the  ordinary, then use extraordinary ingredients.  Select a frothy root  beer with a high sarsparilla content and loads of sweetness.  Add rich,  vanilla bean ice cream and get creative with your toppings.
The  Boston Cooler was invented in Detroit, of all places, and is made with  Vernor's ginger ale and vanilla ice cream. In many Asian eateries you  can order a Snow White, which is composed of vanilla ice cream and 7-Up  or Sprite. In Mexico, you can grab a Holado flotante, a combination of  cola and lemon sherbet.
On  National Root Beer Float Day, A&W Restaurants collects donations  for Disabled American Veterans, a charity that fights for better health  care benefits for America's injured heroes.  What a sweet idea!

Day 5 - We made it to Yellowstone!
It was a long day of travel as we left Moorcroft, WY towards Cody. Everything seemed rather barren and desolate as we moved down the highway. At the last minute, we decided to take a more scenic route through Big Horn National Forest…and scenic doesn’t fully describe the majestic views! The thick, tall pine forests, the crystal clear rocky streams winding with the road, and the much smaller, less known Gooseberry Badlands. Quite of the day from Mom, “Now I know why people live here!!!”
We stopped in Cody for a bite of lunch at Annie’s Soda Saloon, where Lily was able to join on the patio and Todd drank his long-awaited root beer float!
We continued down the road for just over an hour to Yellowstone! Didn’t see too much wildlife on the way in other than this grazing mule deer and one solitary bison. We stopped at Pelican Valley, which was supposed to a place to se moose. Unfortunately, no luck. Instead, Mom got a bear protocol education by the reading the sign indicating it was bear country.😳🐻
At our campsite, elevation of over 7,900 ft, Todd got a nice warm fire ready to cook our dinner of burgers and dogs. Todd took care of Dad by getting him a nice spot by the fire to prop his feet while dinner cooked. At check in, campground personnel mentioned to Todd that Bear wandered through the night before for a visit, we thought it best to lock up all food for the night in the bear proof container.
Needless to say since you are actually getting our Day 5 post on Day 6, service here is not great. Will try to post our Day 6 adventures when I can. Here’s a hint…we will have a “faithful” explosive report for our faithful readers. Stay tuned!

Apparently yesterday was National Rootbeer Float Day, which got me thinking. One of my favourite fantasies is to force a guy to eat as many sets as they can until it makes them sick, right? Well what if you forced a guy or a pocket-boi to eat/drink ice cream floats until they just can't! That way not only are they burpy and full of carbonation but ice cream too!
Poor little guy could would hardly be able to finish just one! A huge glass of root beer and a big scoop of ice cream sloshing around in his tummy and bloating him up from the carbonation, his little stomach would instantly be in the verge of bursting!

"Beer" symbolizes social gatherings, relaxation, and celebration. It's the drink of the everyday person, enjoyed at backyard barbecues, sporting events, and casual get-togethers. It represents a down-to-earth approach to life and leisure.
"Bacon" stands for indulgence in simple pleasures and traditional, hearty cuisine. It's a nod to comfort food and a rejection of health fads in favor of satisfying, no-frills eating. Bacon also carries connotations of weekend breakfasts and home-cooked meals.

"Freedom" ties these elements together, representing the broader concept of individual liberty, limited government intervention, and the pursuit of happiness as one sees fit.
This phrase often appears on t-shirts, bumper stickers, and social media posts. It's sometimes used humorously, but also serves as a serious expression of values for many. The combination resonates with those who see these elements as fundamental to their identity and their vision of America.
