Goose Island Beer Co.

Are you familiar with Goose Island Beer Company, "Chicago's Beer"? This weekend (cold and raining here in New York), Eddie and I enjoyed a pizza while sharing a bottle of Goose Island's Original Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout. (It must be shared: the ABV is a whopping 15.2%!) This is a rich, well-rounded stout with a pronounced aroma that proudly asserts its bourbon street-cred. Goose Island was the first to age stout in bourbon barrels, a practice that has since been widely replicated.  Their ingenuity revolutionized the industry. Let it inspire you to innovate!
