Later this month, Lakewood Brewing Co. of Garland will team with Andy's Frozen Custard, a popular purveyor of frozen treats, in an attempt to build the world's largest beer float. Happening on Saturday, June 29 at 1 p.m., Lakwood will create the float using a full keg of its Temptress Imperial Milk Stout melded with 50 scoops of Andy's World Famous Frozen Custard.

According to a press release, this effort seeks to break a previous record 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.

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 of rich, thick and decadent treats, featuring smooth and creamy vanilla and chocolate frozen custard, transformed into luscious Concretes, Jackhammers™, shakes, and sundaes. Undecided treat seekers can get creative and customize their own 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 Lion’s Den Annual Membership, which offers one complimentary beer per visit with no annual limit. Both Andy’s and Lakewood will have merchandise 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,” adds Wim Bens, founder and president of Lakewood. “Marrying the two to create one of the most iconic symbols of summer will be one for the record books.”
