SFBW: “Hop Stoopid + Bacon” Beer Ice Cream at Humphry Slocombe

All week, Humphry Slocombe is releasing different beer ice cream concoctions daily in honor of SF Beer Week. If you’re familiar their amazing ice cream alchemy, you know how talented they are at bringing together interesting (and disparate) ingredients to create Wonka-like wonders.

Lagunitas Hop Stoopid + Bacon Ice Cream
With the hoppy green flavors and smoky, salty bacon you could easily call this Weed + Bacon Ice Cream and I’d believe you. But I think I’ve figured out what really went into this:

  1. Extract raw Cream of Hops from Lagunitas Hop Stoopid
  2. Mix with Cream of Bacon
  3. Blend with Cream of Cream
  4. Swirl together using horn of baby unicorn*
    (*or sugarcane, if unavailable)

I really appreciate how Old Thunderpussy and Hairy Eyeball are on top of each other. Just sayin’.

Menu changes daily (and this was yesterday’s). So hurry down. Daily.

Participating Breweries: Dogfish Head, Speakeasy, Bison, Fifty Fifty, Valley Brew, Triple Rock, Drakes, Shmaltz,  Magnolia , 21A,  Firestone Walker, Beach Chalet, Thirsty Bear, Lagunitas, Uncommon Brewers, Blue Frog, Trumer, Shiner, Bridgeport, Moonlight, Iron Springs, Eel River, Bear Republic, Sierra Nevada
