Andy’s Frozen Custard and Lakewood Brewing Co. will build the “world’s largest beer float” on Saturday, June 29 at 1 p.m. using 50 scoops of Andy’s Frozen Custard and 50 pints – a full keg – of Lakewood’s Temptress.
The previous record was set in February in Ohio using about 20 pints (9 liters) of Third Eye Brewing’s Higher Purpose Milk Stout and 36 scoops of Graeter’s Vanilla Ice Cream.
“Combining two well-loved local brands to absolutely smash this record is sure to be a summer hit – adults can forever claim they witnessed and tried the World’s Largest Beer Float. We’ll offer kid-friendly floats pairing Andy’s Frozen Custard with Lakewood house-made root beer,” said Eric Reed, co-owner of Ranchers Custard, which operates the eight Andy’s Frozen Custard locations in North Texas.
Andy’s will be on-site at Lakewood with its treat truck from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. with a fresh full menu consisting of creamy vanilla and chocolate frozen custard, transformed into concretes, jackhammers, shakes, and sundaes. Undecided treat seekers can get creative and customize their treats with vanilla frozen custard and topping favorites like fresh fruit, hot fudge, and Andy’s famous roasted pecans.
Those in attendance can also register to win Andy’s for a year, as well as a Lakewood Brewing Lion’s Den Annual Membership, which offers one complimentary beer per visit with no annual limit. Both Andy’s and Lakewood merch will be available to commemorate the occasion, including a free Andy’s and Lakewood glass for the first 100 guests.
“Andy’s and Lakewood are brands known for a superlative focus on product quality, using only the finest ingredients and selling what we have carefully made in-house,” added Wim Bens, founder and president of Lakewood Brewing. “Marrying the two to create one of the most iconic symbols of summer will be one for the record books.”
