Frozen Pints
Being a bartender at heart doesn't mean that I am a big drinker. For me,
however, I like to use alcohol in different ways, like cooking. But, I
still enjoy mixing, creating, and conjuring up new drinks in terms of
being experimental, that will never change I am afraid. In the spirit of
looking for new creations I was on-line looking to find out how to make
the perfect beer ice cream float. You know, I was looking for what kind
of beer yields the best results. Which for me is all new information
since I do not drink beer, I only cook with it. So, this whole quest
started out as an inquiry from friends of mine who thought just because I
was a bartender that I automatically knew how to make a beer ice cream
floats. I did find what I was looking for in the end. However, as y'all
can see by the title of this post that this isn't about beer ice cream
floats, I will leave that for another day. Today, however, we will be
discussing what I found that side-tracked me. I live in my own little
world and was not aware that there was such a thing as beer flavored ice
cream. This began to intrigue me since I dabble in making home made ice
cream when the need arises, which is only about 3-4 times a year. I
will share a web site called Yummly which has proven to be very useful in my quest to satisfy my new needs for something just different enough to make sense.

While I am on that topic, I would like to mention what doesn't make
sense in the form of the type of conflict of interests and concerns
sales of a multitude of different brands which sell their beer flavored
ice cream in the United States. Feel free to correct me if needed, but
the information I have found about the sale of beer flavored ice cream
in the United States is pretty limited to put it mildly. I know for me
personally I have never seen a television commercial for beer flavored
ice cream, nor have I ever seen any advertisements in magazines or
newsprint, nor have I ever heard about it on the talk radio stations or
the more mainstraem radio stations. I don't lead a sheltered life by any
means, but I also don't follow the craft beer industry either. If you
take the example I have used, Frozen Pints,
I have found, according to their web site, that pretty much the only
place to get ahold of their beer flavored ice cream is at select places
in Atlanta Georgia. There is a whole slew of places that offer it to the
general public, most of which are bars, pubs, liquer stores (package
stores), and a few resturants. My search is real limited in the Houston
Texas area, but then again I only made this discovery yesterday, so I
will search it out because I want to try theirs versus the ones I
attempt to make myself. I know, I have allot of spare time on my hands
and all I can think to do with it is to find new ways to make my own
life interesting. But don't worry, because I am not, I am very sure that
I will have people lining up to try my concoctions.
I mentioned above that I found in certain areas there is quite an uproar
about beer flavored ice cream being available to "underage" people. I
will let y'all do some internet searches and see what you come up
yourselves. Why bring it up then? It is simple, because I would like for
y'all to form your own opinions based on your findings. From what I
have seen, a person has to be of legal age per the state of residence to
purchase it. The question that arrises in my mind is how do you stop a
minor from getting anything it wants to get it's hands on? We can't. We
can't be with our children 24/7/365 and that is a proven fact. We end up
have little control of their influences outside the realm of our own
households. I can guarentee when I make my ice cream flavored beer that
my 11 y/o son and my 17 y/o daughter will eventually get a taste, with
or without my personal consent. Do I want them to seek it out on their
own? Absolutely not. However, the "exploritory laws" present in my house
are pretty lax. Meaning that I try to expose my children to things at
home so when they are out and about in the world without us that there
isn't so much shock and awe. My children are not sheltered from much
since we are open to discussions and questions of all sorts at home. I
would rather talk to them about the things they have questions about so I
might help them get the right answers instead of having to depend on
friends gossip or even worse, the internet. Because we all know they
can't put anything on the internet that isn't true......wink....wink.
So, I guess I will leave it all right there. If y'all are so inclined
might I suggest y'all seek out beer flavored ice cream in you local
areas. I know I have friends from the great state of Georgia who can
hook me up....hint....hint. I am sure that I have overlooked allot of
information and so forth, I assure y'all it wasn't intentional. The
