Root Beer

On Monday August 6th starting at 5pm Percy St. Barbecue will be celebrating National Root Beer Float Day.

The Yards Root Beer Float will be $3 and a Spiked Float with Old Overholt Rye will go for $6. Percy St. will also be serving their signature Oskar Blues Ten Fidy float, with the chocolate-covered caramel and coffee flavored stout poured over vanilla ice cream, for $10.50.

Victory for all Ages

Posted by Foobooz on June 29th, 2011

Victory Brewing Co. has been pleasing adults for fifteen years and now they have something for kids (young and old). Victory is now bottling their super tasty root beer and selling three beer inspired flavors of ice cream to-go.

Victory Root Beer has been available at the Brew Pub since 1997 where we’ve had it numerous times as it makes a fine last drink before responsibly hitting the road. We’ve even taken a growler of it home. But now it’s even easier, Victory Root Beer is now bottled and available at the brewery’s gift shop.

Also available at the gift shop are three varieties of Victory ice cream. None of them have alcohol in them but they are all inspired by Victory beers. Triple Monkey is a banana ice cream made with the wort from Golden Monkey, swirled with peanuts and caramel. Hopped Up Devil is a cayenne and cinnamon ice cream made from HopDevil wort studded with chocolate-covered coffee beans. Storm King Crunch mixes chocolate ice cream made with the wort from Storm King Stout, with chocolate malted milk balls. Pints retail for $4.24 plus tax and quarts are $7.99 plus tax.

Maybe one day the root beer and ice cream will like the beer be available in 29 states but for now you’ll have to plan a trip to Downingtown.
