If your calendars weren’t already marked for this year’s Black Friday, set an alarm for November 29th. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This morning, Goose Island authorized the release of details about this year’s lineup of Bourbon County<\/a>, and if you like a lot of liquor in your stout, you’re in luck. The brewery has dialed back on the adjuncts in favor of barrel — consider this a bit of an un-pastry year. Five of the eight beers are adjunct-free, keeping the Bourbon County 2019 focus on just beer, booze and wood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which is not to say that there’s no fruits and sweets here. The Mon Cheri variant sounds basically like a cherry pie — per their description it’s got two kinds of cherries, plus granola and oats, and some brown sugar to round out the pie crust taste. I can see this one working quite well, and given how well received Cherry Rye has been received in the past I’m guessing anticipation will be decently high for this one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was initially a little surprised to see a year without any sort of straightforward coffee variant. Even though they switched things up last year with a coffee barleywine (that I didn’t love<\/a>) this at first appeared to be the first year without a coffee beer in a decade — until I got to the Cafe de Olla listing, which includes Intelligentsia Coffee beans, cold brew, cassia bark, orange peel, and panela sugar. This one should be interesting. We’ll see. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The full lineup of this year’s variants are: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
