At the Michigan Summer Beer fest in 2017, there was one booth where they were doing Porter floats with vanilla ice cream. My wife tasted it and got back in line for a 2nd one while she was eating the first one. Very tasty!

I do this a few times a year. Stout with vanilla is the way to go!

Also, for those interested, we sell a local beer syrup on Amazon. Besides using it directly on ice cream, you can reduce 1:1 with simple syrup and make snow cones! I won’t link it here, but you can search it up. :)
