Some great stuff coming out from Goose Island on the history behind one of my favorite beers, their Bourbon Country Stout. I'll share them all here, starting with Chapter 1 today...
"In 1992 Greg Hall, wanted to brew something truly unique for the
brewpub’s 1,000th batch, he just needed inspiration. Then a chance
encounter between Greg and Jim Beam’s Booker Noe led to Goose Island
acquiring the barrels for what was to become the world’s first bourbon
barrel aged beer. The young brewmaster soon found himself in the
uncharted waters of bourbon barrel aged beer.
Thank you to John and Hall for having the vision and grit needed to open a brewery in a time when the concept of craft beer was novel. Thank you to Greg Hall for looking at a used bourbon barrel and seeing a second life. Going back into the original Brewpub with Greg as he flipped through old brewing logs and told us about first time he brewed Bourbon County was an experience the team will never forget."
