Goose Island 2023 Bourbon County Stout
The original barrel aged stout
After crafting the very first bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout, we’ve learned that to have the best beer, you start with the best possible ingredients. Barrels are such an important ingredient, and we continue to use only the best our friends on the bourbon trail have to offer.⁠
Bourbon County Original Stout is aged in a mix of freshly emptied bourbon barrels from Buffalo Trace, Heaven Hill, Four Roses and Wild Turkey distilleries.⁠
Barrel aged for an average of 12 months, Original boasts deeply developed flavors of fudge, vanilla, and caramelized sugar with a rich, decadent mouthfeel.


This will be released online Thursday night at some point - watch for the link
Goose Island 2023 Bourbon County Bananas Foster Stout

Stout aged in Bourbon Barrels with Bananas, Almonds, Cassia Bark, and natural flavors
Welcoming back another member of the family this year, Bourbon County Bananas Foster Stout makes its debut on the national stage. This recipe was first released in 2017 as Bourbon County Brand Proprietor’s Stout only to Chicago drinkers. Beloved by many, this release is especially near and dear to our innovation brewer Quinn Fuechsl’s heart.⁠  At the time when we first released this beer, the brewery hadn’t experimented with bananas much. However, Quinn had a good feeling that the fruit, along with almond and cassia bark, would be perfect ingredients in a bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout — indeed, he was right. Sure to bring a bit of flair to your palate, this decadent pour is well-balanced with deep caramelization, aromas of fresh baked banana bread and warm notes of cinnamon and almond.


This will be released online Thursday night at some point - watch for the link
Goose Island 2023 Bourbon County Backyard Stout
Stout Aged in Bourbon Barrels with Mulberries, Boysenberries, and Marionberries
Feeling nostalgic this year, we dove into our Bourbon County vault and pulled out an iconic recipe. In 2013, we released “Backyard Rye” and our senior innovation manager Mike Siegel found himself hand picking mulberries off trees just steps away from our Goose Island Barrel House in Chicago. Inspired by that initial release and by his own childhood memories of picking fruit in his own backyard, Mike set to work on this year’s Bourbon County Backyard Stout.⁠  This barrel-aged stout was first aged in bourbon barrels for at least one year, and then finished and blended with mulberries, boysenberries and marionberries. Each addition of berry contributes its own distinct flavor profile, with some adding sweetness and others providing acidity and complexity. A taste of the past, this imperial stout is a balanced and nuanced play on fresh fruit, vanilla, and chocolate.



These two will be released via our BRC - based on beer purchases at our locations over the past 6 months!

Purchases will count through Thanksgiving!  Emails will go out Wednesday night or Thursday morning. 

Goose Island 2023 Bourbon County Eagle Rare 2 Year Reserve Stout
Aged in 10 Year Old Eagle Rare Barrels

With a heritage rooted in authenticity and a commitment to craftsmanship,  Eagle Rare captures the essence of American history with its Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey. Just as bourbon is a uniquely American product, Bourbon County Brand Stout is distinctly Chicago. From the carefully selected American oak barrels sourced from Eagle Rare in Kentucky to the distinct combination of our unique climate and original imperial stout recipe crafted here; Bourbon County Eagle Rare Reserve Stout epitomizes a proud American legacy. ⁠  Aged for two years in extraordinary Eagle Rare 10-year-old barrels, each sip is a culmination of our passion, intricately woven together with the nuanced flavors imparted by these remarkable barrels. Eagle Rare Reserve is an incredibly complex and boldly rich stout that celebrates the essence of American brewing at its finest.

Goose Island 2023 Bourbon County Angel's Envy 2 Year Cask Finish Stout
Stout Aged in Angel's Envy Bourbon Barrels finished in Ruby Port Wine Barrels

Introducing the newest addition to the Bourbon County family: our first-ever “Cask Finish” stout. Inspired by the innovation of our friends at Angel’s Envy, we embarked on a journey to further develop the complexity of barrel-aged stout by introducing never-before-used finishing barrels. The beer starts in freshly emptied barrels that once held Angel’s Envy Kentucky straight bourbon. After aging in those for a year, the beer was transferred to a second set of Ruby Port wine barrels where it patiently matured for another year. By replicating Angel Envy's finishing process, we refined and amplified the flavors of cherry, spice, and cocoa within this aged stout. Bourbon County Angel’s Envy Cask Finish Stout is a testament to our legacy as the originators of bourbon barrel-aged stout.

E.J. Curley Single Barrel Bourbon...$64.99
123.80 Proof
Single Barrel No. 44
Our Master Blender hand selects stand out barrels that represent the most unique characteristics of the brand for an elevated E.J. Curley experience.


E.J. Curley established some of the industry’s earliest distilleries on this property including the Blue Grass and Boone’s Knoll Distilleries under his company EJ Curley & Co., renamed E.J. Curley Distillery and later Kentucky River Distillery. Distilled Spirits Plant (DSP) numbers #15 and #45, respectively.

E.J. Curley
One of Bourbon’s original tastemakers, E.J. Curley coined the term “Bluegrass” and founded his namesake brand, E.J. Curley & Co, along the Kentucky River Palisades in 1867. Curley was a prolific marketing maven and quickly issued additional brands including Blue Grass Bourbon, Boone’s Knoll Bourbon, and Curley Rye. His exceptional brand creating mind was matched only by his business acumen as evidenced by a single sale of 8600 barrels to a buyer in Chicago for a modern-day equivalent of $19M-the largest bourbon sale ever recorded in that time. In 1902, he formed the Distillers Securities Corporation in NYC which controlled the great majority of Kentucky Bourbon production. A connoisseur to the very end, Curley spent his golden years living at the Ritz Carlton Paris raising glasses with the most influential artists and thinkers of the time.

We honor the Curley elan bringing to market expertly handcrafted small batch and single-barrel bourbon expressions hand selected by Master Blender, Ashley Barnes. In 2025, visitors to the site of the original DSP #15, E.J. Curley and Co, and later DSP #45, in Jessamine County, Kentucky will enjoy the very same breathtaking palisades vistas found at the end of winding nature trails and outdoor experiences. The original aquifer that fed the water Curley distilled still with flows on site and its product will be bottled at a new visitor center and home to extraordinary custom experiences.

The Gem of Kentucky is the premiere offering from 2XO. The only double barreled single barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey on the market. The barrels are exclusively selected by Dixon from his double barreled stocks of the high rye bourbon mash bill (35% rye) that spend a year in new charred oak barrels before bottling. It is a full-bodied, full-flavored expression that leans on Dixon’s unique double-barreling process for a richer and more viscous mouthfeel. The differing char levels on the secondary barreling allow complex flavors to develop and balance the spicy finish from the high rye distillate.

Hunter Jackson at Cruach, Ian McKerrell at Island farm, Raymond Fletcher at Dunlossit estate, Donald and Andrew Jones at Coull, Mark French at Rockside, Alastair Torrance at Mulindry and Raymond Stewart at Sunderland undertook the risk of growing in challenging conditions to deliver the barley for this Scotch whisky with unparalleled provenance.

Old Elk Tasting This Friday at Spirit Wine and Craft

 

This Friday, November 17 at Spirit Wine & Craft from 4-6pm
Come try Old Elk Blended Straight Bourbon Whiskey and Wheated Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Old Elk Blended Straight Bourbon Whiskey $49.99
51% corn, 34% malted barley, 15% rye
The key to our bourbon is our high malted barley content in our mashbill. By investing in our bourbon and using four times more malted barley than traditional recipes, we’ve created a non-traditional bourbon that generates sweet and light components. Aged for five years, the malted barley combined with the spicy essence of clove from the rye, and the classic rich bourbon character from the corn amounts to a robust and smooth taste profile.Old Elk Wheated Straight Bourbon Whiskey $62.99
51% corn, 45% wheat, 4% malted barley
Wheaters, come gather ‘round because this one's for you. A delicious and well-balanced wheated bourbon is something every whiskey lover should get their hands on. Ours is a chance for us to show you and the world what we’re capable of. By using our expertise in creating our signature high-malt bourbon, we tweaked our recipe and upped the wheat and kept the corn at the minimum. Our wheated bourbon is a smooth and layered whiskey aged for a minimum of five years and consists of 51 percent corn, 45 percent wheat and four percent malted barley. The result? A liquid that allows for each ingredient to not only shine on its own, but highlights what happens when success meets craft.

Surly Brewing Seventeen...$12.99 / 16oz can
BREWED FOR OUR ANNIVERSARY

As the story goes, a Prohibition-era secret society of cocktail enthusiasts known only as the International Bar Flies formed at Harry’s New York Bar in Paris, the alleged birthplace of The Boulevardier and the inspiration for Seventeen.Our 2023 anniversary beer blends a strong red ale and a wee heavy, aged in Tattersall Bitter Orange Liqueur barrels and 10-Year Henry McKenna Bourbon barrels, echoing The Boulevardier’s timeless flavor profile. Keep it a secret or share it with your fellow bar flies.

Surly Abrasive Double IPA...$14.99 / 4pk 16oz cans
We originally brewed this beer at the end of 2008 to bid farewell to growler sales, only to underestimate the demand for the first double IPA in Minnesota. We brewed the beer again in spring 2009 and the rest is IPA history. Also history: 16 Grit, the beer’s first handle and a size of abrasive grit used at the old abrasives factory that houses the original Surly mothership in Brooklyn Center.


Surly Brewing Winterize Winter Lager...$17.99 / 12pk 12oz cans
WINTER LAGER | 6% ABV
Surly Winterize Winter Lager celebrates the season as only a Minnesota brewery can. From the beauty of the first snowfall to the mountain of April parking lot sludge, Winterize’s full flavor and satisfying finish will help you hunker down and get through.

Surly Logic Bomb Juicy Pale Ale...$8.99 / 6pk 12oz cans
You CAN handle the truth: An approachable pale ale can also burst with juicy hop flavor. Start making sense with Logic Bomb.

Surly Furious IPA...$9.99 / 6pk 12oz cans
Surly is called “Surly” due to our inability to find a good beer in town. Furious is one of the first beers we brewed to rectify that situation. The rest is history.
People ask us to describe Furious all the time. It’s not quite like any other IPA out there. We give them the flavor notes and the hop profile, but it never seems like it’s enough. What makes Furious Furious? Let’s try this: You know that feeling when you do something that pushes you to your absolute limit? And people think you’re a little off your nut for even doing it? And you kind of agree with them, but goddammit, it’s getting done? And then you fucking DO IT? And there’s no one there to see it but you and the dog so you high-five the dog?

Surly Axe Man DDH IPA...$14.99 / 4pk 16oz cans
Double dry-hopping with Citra and Mosaic hops creates this world-renowned IPA’s intense tropical fruit and citrus aromas. Brewed with Golden Promise malt, this beer finishes rich and dry. First brewed in collaboration with Amager Brewery in Denmark.

Guatemalan coffee, roasted locally, is added to our house oatmeal brown ale. Cold press coffee aromatics and intense coffee flavors are balanced by the oats in the malt bill, resulting in a cappuccino-like creaminess

Surly Before I Die Lager...$8.99 / 6pk 12oz cans
BREWED FOR NATE WRIGHT
Crisp and crushable, Before I Die lager centers an approachable balance of hops and malt. It’s the beer you’ve been waiting for your whole life.

Surly’s new year-round variety pack finds meaning in Chaos and Logic. If it results in a Mosh Pit, we wouldn’t be Furious about it.
Surly Selects centers some of our heaviest, hoppiest hitters. We’re taking four of our flagships and filing them all in one box full of flavorful fulfillment. Simply put, Surly Selects stands out.

  • Furious—the beer that built Surly. Aggressively hopped and citrusy with a caramel malt backbone, it’s unlike any other IPA out there. It’s Furious.
  • Logic Bomb—the most popular new Minnesota craft beer of 2022, this approachable pale ale bursts with juicy hop flavor.
  • Controlled Chaos—double dry-hopped and heaving with a cacophony of citrusy flavor, this West Coast-style IPA finishes dry with just a touch of bitterness, just like the music that inspired it.
  • One Man Mosh Pit–An absurd dose of Amarillo, Citra, Simcoe, and Mosaic dry-hopping hoists this IPA above the fray. Juicy and hazy, it’s the perfect soundtrack to the music in your head.
