Grit and Grain: The Story of Bourbon County Stout

Поділитися
Вставка
  • Опубліковано 19 лис 2015
  • To the employees of Goose Island, Bourbon County Stout has always been more than liquid in a bottle. We’ve always known that, but to what extent we had no idea. A lot has changed at Goose Island since the first batch of Bourbon County Stout was brewed and barreled in 1992. As time marched on, the folklore surrounding Bourbon County Stout became as rich and layered as the beer itself. Fact starts to blend with myth, and myth takes away from the process.
    That’s why a group of Goose Island employees set out to uncover the full story of Bourbon County Stout. What we found was a story larger than we had ever realized. A story that uncovers a large cast of characters, crosses state lines, and spans generations. From the loggers that down the American White Oak used to make bourbon barrel staves, to the distillers that fill and age bourbon on those staves. This is Grit & Grain. This is what it really takes to get Bourbon County Brand Stout into your hands.

      3 sips and 2 bong rips later on lit😂😂, this is really really strong “beer” if that’s what you want to call it. It’s ,more like a bourbon/beer mixed with slightly sweet and a velvet finish. Be careful if you’re a beginner like me. This with a good strain of medicinal is fuego🚛💨🔥

    Bought a '22 case last year and a '23 now on Black Friday at Costco. It is so rich that your palate, tongue and gums are impregnated with flavors that stand out. An amazing sipping beer in a snifter glass. I plan on storing several of these bottles and let them age. It'll be even smoother and more complex.

    I thought this was an amazing video. I loved how it hit on so many different angles, from the original batch #1000, history and info about bourbon, the amazing craft of coopers, the forests and mills in Missouri where American White Oak is harvested and aged, the mind blowing Goose Island barrel warehouse, what all goes into the different variants of BCBS, and the truly unbelievable story of the 35 year old Heaven Hill barrels, not to mention Pappy 23 year old barrels. As of March 24th 2016 this video has only 4,862 views and 3 of them were me. How is that even possible? No matter your opinion of Goose Island or BCBS, or their recent corporate purchase, this is a top notch documentary style video about a legendary beer, and one that could never have been produced without having the resources a parent company like InBev can provide. Kudos.

    Shame its not being supplied to the UK market now...I've just acquired 11 bottles of the Goose island 2021 Bourbon country stout today. May the 10th, 2024. Its beautiful stuff, at 14.4% abv its the perfect imperial stout.
    I've probably drunk more imperial stout than most folk, and goose island's is/was perfection. I've already drank 12 bottles of this beer over the last 2 years, since it arrived here, but its now almost impossible to source or find in the UK as of May 2024 its all but sold out.
    There are of course many other great imperial stouts, but Goose Island, Bourbon County Brand Stout, always stands out, for its consistent high quality, body, bouquet and full flavour. No idea why they stopped shipping it here..I heard it was some political/internal issues with the beer giant InBev (who acquired goose island just over 10 years ago), calling the shots.
    Shame if this is so, this beer has been discontinued here since 2021 in the UK and is a smack in the face of all who supported and purchased it.
    It saddens me that so many great independent breweries (ie the CEO's and owners) eventually sell out to the beer giants like Inbev, to make a handful of staff/owners super rich! These super beer giants then proceed to destroy the very brand they originally bought, by withdrawing sales, no doubt to help push or promote other more profitable beers in the UK! Shame on goose island for selling out and shame on inBev for treating us Brits like this!
