Boot Black Stout Release | SF Beer Week 2025 (February 21-March 2)

Celebrate the release of Elixir’s new in-house beer brand, Boot Black Stout, with a free shoe shine and discounted pints of the oatmeal stout made by Sudwerk, as well as a paired shot of Black Grouse scotch whisky.

Bust out your dirtiest shoes and come get them shined up for free while hearing the story of the Elixir’s pre-Prohibition era Boot Black Stand.

The team from Sudwerk will be on hand with additional specialties like a sour beer (California Wild Saison Péche: secondary fermented in a Petite sirah French oak barrel), a cask ale (3 Best Friends: a smooth, dark lager brewed with chocolate malts, locally roasted coffee and vanilla beans with 7% ABV and 20 IBU), and of course the Elixir Snakeoil IPA.

The free shoe shine promotion will become a regular monthly event at Elixir from 6-8 pm every first Monday of the month, starting on March 3, 2014.
