Not Your Father’s Root Beer Floats
Over the summer, my beau and I were in Connecticut for a birthday party. We brought the typical Bud Lights with us, but one of Albert’s friends showed up with something extra special: Not Your Father’s Root Beer. Basically, it’s alcoholic root beer. I know…right?!

Still not cheap, but every little bit helps. Like many fancy drink places, this one is something of a speakeasy, located at 132 1/2 E. … Continue reading
