MR Goose Island 2-2-89 7

Milwaukee Road / Soo Line switcher in action on Goose Island on a cold winter afternoon back in February 1989. Preparing to return from International Salt / AKZO (located just the other side of the Ogden Ave. Viaduct in the background) on North Branch St. with a cut of hoppers and one boxcar.

A pour of Goose Island's 2012 Bourbon County Brand Stout on tap at Miller's Pub in Chicago. A 4 of 4. At 12 years old, this is honestly better than any other BCBS I've had over the years, I think. Super well-integrated, and tons of smoke, roast, oak, and bourbon throughout. A heavy-hitter at 15%, but sips easily and while complex, the flavors work perfectly together. Convinced me to seek out more older Goose Island if given the opportunity.

Chicago Beer Pass: Stout Showdown

Welcome to the Chicago Beer Pass: Your ticket to all the great beer events happening in and around Chicago.

On this episode of Chicago Beer Pass, Brad Chmielewski and Nik White are joined by their buddy Steve Wyatt for a stout showdown. This showdown has been planned for awhile and it was a big task requiring an extra hand. The three guys put Goose Island and Revolution up head to head to see which ones reign supreme. With Goose Island's Black Friday right around the corner and Revolution's Deep Woods about to start up again for the season, stout fans here in Chicago are in for a real treat this year; especially as these two crews keep putting their best foot forward.

Chicago Beer Pass: Super Massive Recap

Welcome to the Chicago Beer Pass: Your ticket to all the great beer events happening in and around Chicago.

On this episode of Chicago Beer Pass, Brad Chmielewski is back from his German adventures and Nik has a lot to share about what Brad missed while he was busy knocking back liters. First up the guys talk about the latest barrel-aged release from Sketchbook Brewing, this was a preview event both Brad and Nik attended at the end of October. It's great to see Sketchbook continuing to explore and try new things rather than getting stuck with the same releases. Then Nik shares about the two big events that Brad missed; Goose Island's Bourbon County Stout preview and FOBAB. This is now two years in a row Brad has missed FOBAB which is a bit of a bummer for him. FOBAB is one of the events you get to try a lot of beers that you can't get your hands on or don't want to drop $40 on to drink at home. With stout season in full swing, what releases are you most looking forward to trying?
