The Beer for Breakfast Milkshake

A milkshake that is reminiscent of a beer float, but with maple and bacon flavors to make it appropriate for dessert or maybe even brunch on a warm day.

This milkshake goes beyond dessert or even a simple beer float. Maybe it is too much for your mornings, but with maple and bacon flavors this may just be our favorite, indulgent brunch or dessert drink this summer.

We have used a Blonde Ale by Alphabet City Beer Co. as well as an Amber Lager by Brooklyn Brewery, but feel free to use your favorite beer. Just keep in mind that you don’t need a powerful stout, but a beer that is too light and lacking in subtle caramel notes will make the milkshake bitter, go for something in between.
