A Black Friday Indeed for Goose Island
Goose Island will release the highly anticipated Rare Bourbon County this Friday at 9am at Binny's Lincoln Park location at 1720 North Marcey (Goose Island itself will host a tasting of the beer--but no sales permitted--beginning at 10am); a 22-ounce bottle, if you can get your hands on one after its full release on Monday, will set you back $45. Why so expensive? The limited release beer (only around 8,000 bottles will be reportedly produced) has been aged over two years in 23-year-old bourbon barrels; its predecessor, Bourbon County Brand Coffee Stout, earned rave reviews during its short run in April. Brewmaster Greg Hall predicts that more varieties of the Stout will appear next year, among them orange and peppercorn.
