We like the element of surprise so beyond this you’ll just have to trust us and make your own assumptions.
If you have been fortunate enough to attend any of the NINE previous Stoutfest breakfasts, then you already know this will be nothing short of amazing! Your wake-up call will be provided by Iggy’s in Cambridge and Armeno Coffee Roaster’s out of Northboro, while Chef Sean Dacey puts the final touches on your meal. The three stouts offered during this breakfast, will ONLY be offered to guests at this breakfast.
As if imbibing 3 amazing stouts wasn’t enough, once the breakfast concludes, each guest is not only guaranteed a seat for the Stoutfest tapout when doors open to the public at noon, but will also have access to our 2019 Stoutfest tees and the first pour of all 22 hand-picked stouts!
Tickets went on sale Thursday, March 21, 2019, via Eventbrite at 7PM.
