Fact of the Day: black cow

The "black cow" or "root beer float" was created on August 19, 1893.
Frank J. Wisner, owner of Cripple Creek Brewing in Colorado, served the
first root beer float. Inspired by the moonlit view of snow-capped Cow
Mountain, Mr. Wisner added a scoop of ice cream to his Myers Avenue Red
root beer and began serving it as the "Black Cow Mountain." The name
was later shortened to "black cow."
