ICYMI

It's been 30 years since former Goose Island brewmaster Gregory Hall crafted the first bourbon barrel-aged beer, which became known as Bourbon County Stout. To honor the anniversary, Goose Island announced the release of seven varieties of Bourbon County, including Stout, Two-Year Barleywine Reserve, 30th Anniversary Reserve Stout, Biscotti Stout, Coffee Stout, Sir Isaac's Stout and Proprietor's Stout. But, the catch is that you'll have to wait until Black Friday to get your hands on one of these. For details, see gooseisland.com/.
