Goose Island Bramble Rye Bourbon County Brand Stout
August 19th, 2012 | 2 Comments | Written by Russ Beck

I was pretty excited when I found out Goose Island was releasing a Bourbon County Brand Stout variant that contained raspberries and blackberries, but was also not exactly convinced I would actually be able to ever taste it. Luckily, I was able to trade a Founders CBS and some other things for one a few months back. I forced myself to hold onto it so more people could share this opportunity…but it wasn’t easy!

After looking up the kinds of beers they were involved with, and the well above average ABVs (and ratings), I was sold. Today’s post fits nicely into our Cellar column and our Better From The Barrel column as I have Fourth Dementia and … Read entire article »

Bourbon Barrel Central PA
February 29th, 2012 | 4 Comments | Written by Russ Beck

While visiting Central Pennsylvania back in December to watch my high school football team (Tyrone) romp through the Pennsylvania State Playoffs, a few lucky turn of events led to me having the opportunity to enjoy two Heaven Hill bourbon barrel aged offerings from small, local breweries. The first of which was at Otto’s Pub and Brewery, in between the i99 and Penn State University on Atherton Street. This is one of the breweries that aided … Read entire article »
