Super Stout Sunday VIII—At Home Edition
Feb 7, 2021
Michael writes: This coming Super Bowl Sunday, February 7th would have been Hopleaf’s 8th annual Super Stout Sunday. We and many of our customers really, really look forward to this event. Sadly, this is exactly the kind of super-crowded event that can not happen during a pandemic. However, while we don’t have a menu of 30 to 40 ridiculously strong stouts, barleywines and other dark monsters in our cooler this year, we do have a nice selection of past and present vintages of Goose Island Bourbon County Stout kegs on hand. We also have some unused growlers left from our March and April growler sale. So this year we are inviting you to take Hopleaf’s Super Stout Sunday home with you! [So sorry; SS Chili has sold out!—Chef Brett is going to make a batch of Super Stout Chili and Cornbread that will be available too.]
To make this a safe, socially distanced event, we will be taking pre-orders for these BCS growlers. They will be pre-paid and pre-poured and waiting for pickup during a specified time window Saturday evening and Sunday before the game. These will be sold in our 64 oz growlers ONLY and since the quantities are limited, you’ll want to reserve your choice early. There is no limit to how many any one customer can purchase. Orders must be placed by 5pm Friday Feb 5.
A 64 oz growler of such a high ABV beer may seem excessive especially in a time when we don’t recommend a large gathering of friends to share. However, since these beers have lost most of their fizz during the barrel -aging process, they can be enjoyed over many of the coming cold winter nights with no loss of the attributes we love about them. Served in an appropriate chalice, snifter or half pint glass, there should be at least 10 servings per growler.
All varieties are line priced at $60— with tax inc., total each = $66.45 .
Chili is $15—total with tax = $16.61 .
