Yes, its Pumpkin Spiced Latte season, but we’re really looking forward to Bourbon County season. This year, Goose Island Beer Co. has announced a record eight variants to its annual Bourbon County release.
More than twenty years ago, Hall wanted to do something different for the brewpub’s 1000th batch. A chance encounter between Hall and the legendary Booker Noe, Jim Beam’s legendary distiller, led to Goose Island acquiring the barrels for what was to become the world’s first bourbon barrel aged beer.
Since then, the beer has become both internationally known and locally recognized. Fans line-up down the street for its Black Friday release in Chicago. Below are the eight variants that the brewery will be releasing this year:
- Original Bourbon County Brand Stout
- Reserve Bourbon County Brand Stout
- Proprietor’s Bourbon County Brand Stout
- Bourbon County Brand Wheatwine
- Bourbon County Brand Vanilla Stout
- Bourbon County Brand Bramble Rye Stout
- Bourbon County Brand Coffee Barleywine
- Bourbon County Brand Midnight Orange Stout
Goose Island’s Bourbon County lineup will be released Black Friday, Nov 23.
