A&W is not the only flavor the creamery has turned into a float ice cream. In May of 2023, Blue Bell released Dr Pepper Float ice cream.

“We received many requests for an A&W Root Beer Float Ice Cream,” said John Neal
Robinson, Blue Bell general sales manager. “After the huge success of Dr Pepper Float Ice
Cream last year, we were ready to work together on another delicious flavor. We recommend
enjoying a few scoops in a chilled mug just like your favorite root beer.”

Root beer float lovers can find the flavor in half gallons and pint sizes through 2025.

If you can’t find the A&W Root Beer Float Ice Cream where you live, Blue Bell ships its products nationwide. You can find this one, and many more, through their website.
