Beer Ice Cream and Photo Show @ Humphry Slocombe
The people have spoken, and they are saying: more beer ice cream.
Jake, Sean and the rest of the team at Humphry Slocombe have made some great ice cream, but they didn’t do it alone. The local brewing community really got behind this experiment in frozen goodness, and provided the base beers for all of the flavors.
Kicking in the good stuff are: Dogfish Head, Speakeasy, Bison, Fifty Fifty, Valley Brew, Triple Rock, Drakes, Shmaltz, 21A, Firestone Walker, Beach Chalet, Thirsty Bear, Lagunitas, Uncommon Brewers, Blue Frog, Trumer, Shiner, Bridgeport, Moonlight, Iron Springs, Eel River, Bear Republic, Sierra Nevada, and Magnolia.
Umm, yea. It’s a lot of beer.
I am also very proud to be presenting my first show of beer photography!
All of the prints are available for a limited printing run for $40 each. They’re 11 by 14 inches, and printed on matte photostock. The perfect valentine’s day gift for your hop head lover. They’ll be available for pickup at Humphry Slocombe after ordering – so no shipping. Peruse the photos and purchase here.
Some of my favorite flavors to pass through the cold case have been: 21A Monk’s Blood with Figs, FiftyFity Eclipse Bourbon Stout, Magnolia Old Thunder Pussy and most recently, Lagunitas Hop Stoopid with Bacon (really.)
Can’t make it down to the Mission? Don’t worry, Magnolia has got your back. Rather than take the MUNI 33 across town, Magnolia collaboration ice creams are available at BOTH Humphry Slocombe, and Magnolia Brewpub. Since all of Magnolia’s beers are draft only, it took a lot of growlers to make this ice cream.
To keep up with the demand, the kitchen at Humphry Slocombe is working around the clock. When I stopped by this afternoon, Max was just putting together a fresh batch of Speakeasy Prohibition Ale Ice Cream. Each batch is flavored and seasoned to taste. It’s the same attention to each batch that makes many of these beers such great culinary launchpads.
The line was out the door. The favorite seems to be the four scoop flight for 4.50. Only available for SF Beer Week.
Not sure what to get? Ask Emily for a taste. (Fun fact – in order to keep up with tastes, the 100+ metal spoons are washed three times a day. That’s a lot of saved plastic/potatoware)

That all sounds scrumptious (even as the snow falls outside). I typically make a chocolate ice cream using Bell’s Expedition Stout. Link
