Today is National Root Beer Float Day, and yes, there really is a day for everything! This is cool, and not just for kids, because there's a new beer that can make this an amazing day of celebration for adults!

You've probably seen people posting about the amazing 'Not Your Father's Root Beer' that's now out, and it's my favorite beer ever now!

I was told by a bartender at a restaurant yesterday that you can order ice cream to go with it, and make a Root Beer Float, with a 5.9% alcohol root beer!

And yes, I immediately proclaimed my undying love for her. The restraining order will probably be coming soon, haha.

So head to your favorite watering hole, or store to pick up some of this amazing root beer, and some ice cream, and eat like a kid tonight for National Root Beer Float Day!

I also learned this:

Frank J. Wisner of Cripple Creek, Colorado, gets the credit for inventing the “Black Cow”  way back in August of 1893.

Wisner named the new creation, “Black Cow Mountain” but the local children shortened the name to “Black Cow“.

Root Beer Float is probably a better name than 'Black Cow'.
