Half Acre Sets Limits on Big Hugs

By Chuck Sudo in Food on Dec 8, 2011 10:15PM

2009_12_21_bighugs.jpg If it's December, it's time for Half Acre Beer Company to release its Big Hugs Stout, made with liberal amounts of Dark Matter coffee. As with nearly every beer Half Acre brews these days (see the rush for Galactic Daisy Cutter as one example), there's going to be a rush on this stout.

Which is why it's probably wise to memorize Half Acre's limits for the beer when it's released Dec. 18.

We will have standard checkout, but will also have a cash only line. Everything to be priced including tax for ease of use.

3000 bomber bottles
$12 each (including tax)
3 bottle limit per person
Growler fills $21 ($25 w/ growler)(tax included)
2 growler limit per person

We will have special Sunday store hours from 11am to 6pm

Hope to see you. Come dressed as a cat and receive a prize.

If you don't want to wait until the 18th for some Big Hugs, Half Acre will also have a release party for the beer Dec. 16 at the Blind Robin (853 N. Western Ave.)
