I love Root Beer Floats! At downtown A&W with family
I rarely drink soda and I don't drink soda from a can or bottle, but I will walk down the street a few blocks, to enjoy an A&W Root Beer Float served in a frosty mug.
The root beer is made daily and they use soft serve vanilla Ice Cream. The floats are so delicious.
It only takes us a few minutes to walk down to this original car hop restaurant from our house.
Daniel learned to drink out of a straw at this A&W restaurant and both Harvey and Daniel enjoy Root Beer as much as I do.
I'm @runridefly, and I rarely walk down to this downtown Visalia landmark, because I would weigh 500 pounds as much as I love their root beer floats.
I like them when the ice cream is very melty, soft serve is great in black cherry soda too.

@lifeworship, I just wish they put a little more ice cream in my mug. I like to drink that melted ice cream with the root beer.
Birch beer and spruce beer are also excellent.
A & W is classic. Even though I try and stay away from soda, I'm not against having it every once in a while and with a float at that place it would have to be an exception. Thanks for sharing the time out and pics.
It has been months since I enjoyed a float, but I worked hard yesterday so @luvbnamome bought me a root beer float. So delicious.
Root beer floats are bomb, man. You ever had a regular beer float? It's disgusting.

@shayne, that sounds so disgusting. Thank you for the support and Steem On Dude!
I didn't know root beer floats!
You never heard of a root beer float? Dude, you go get yourself some vanilla ice cream, a couple cans of root beer and have at it.
Ah, the good ol' days, cruising Alameda Blvd in San Jose (Lalaland)...drive-ins nearly every block... I miss the 50s!
I miss the good ol' days as well. My dad drove 30s-50s cars so I felt like i was in the 50s. @dragon40, steem on dude!
My dad bought a '57 Bel Air SS convertable in 1957...the beginning of my sr. year in HS...and, when he was in a good mood, he'd let me drive it to school. What a chick magnet, particularly on a California friday night, cruzing the strip:
(Driving local pols in a parade, Santa Clara, California, Summer, 1958)
That is a beautiful car and I love that color.
My dad had a few hardtop 55 and 57 chevys, but our family car was a 50 chevy hardtop deluxe with a 350 and Muncie 4 speed. Every car was a hot rod. My mom drove a 55 chevy to work and it was an ex drag car.
Dad had a 55 Chevy business coupe for work (I learned to drive in a 56 Ford wagon column shift). The 57 went like a bat out of hell, but wouldn't stop worth a damn after the drums heated up. I bought a 51 MGTD in 1959, and loved driving it over the SS...different strokes, eh?

@uwelang, thank you

I miss A&W Root Beer. I can't find it in Dalian. They got Bargs in a few import shops but it's just not the same.
@solarguy, the root beer is made in the restaurant so it's especially delicious. My step dad drinks all kinds of different brands of root beer, but never A&W root beer. What's up with that?
A new concept for me! We don't have that in our country but it could be a great idea for a new model business 🙂
I'm sure its taste it's pretty good.
@dresden, go get yourself some root beer and vanilla ice cream, and enjoy it in a frosty mug. You wilo enjoy it.

I used to love them. Used to because there used to be A&W in Singapore. Not anymore. Still can get the A&W cans of root beer from supermarket. Just got to make our own float.
@ace108, you will have to make them soon. They are so delicious.
I do so off and on. Guess the time is due. ;-)
