Today was a beautiful day in San Francisco! So, naturally, we went for a walk, this time around Potrero Hill. The last stop on the way home was Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream. This is San Francisco Beer Week, and Humphry Slocombe is doing 6 custom beer flavored ice creams every day. Todays was: Albino Python, Hop Stoopid, Wassail, Hairy Eyeball, Old Thunderpussy and Smokestack.

I tried the ‘Hairy Eyeball‘ (from Lagunitas). Beer ice cream… honestly I wasn’t that impressed. I felt somewhat let down.

However, I didn’t stop at that. I also had a scoop of the ‘Chocolate & Smoked Salt’. OMFG… incredible depth of flavor.

Suzanne opted for ‘Cinnamon Brittle’ and ‘Blue Bootle Vietnamese Coffee’. ‘Cinnamon Brittle’ was ok, but not as intense of a flavor as I prefer, especially for cinnamon. The ‘Blue Bootle Vietnamese Coffee’, on the other hand, was incredible. @stesla had previously made a similar comment, but WOW it was good.

We’d dropped in last week as well and had ‘Secret Breakfast’ (Bourbon and Cornflakes) and ‘Balsamic Caramel’. Both were over the top good. I especially loved the ‘Balsamic Caramel’.

I’ll be making a habit of dropping into Humphry Slocombe semi-regularly. The best (and maybe worst) thing is that it’s only 2 blocks from home!
