Year of New Beer: Bourbon County Brand Regal Rye, Goose Island Beer Co (Chicago)

Written By: Dion on 12/06/2015

Say what you will about the evil empire that now owns Goose Island, but one thing remains...this line of beers is nothing short of exquisite. All of the rich, luscious flavors found in regular Bourbon County are present in this variant, accented beautifully by the addition of blackberries and cherries. Chocolate, mild coffee, and juicy berries greet the nose and transition flawlessly to the tongue. At this point, the berries alternate from sweet to sour, balanced by traces of sea salt and rye spice. A truly delicious beer.
