The story behind it

The maker

Founded in Chicago in 1988 by John Hall, Goose Island Beer Company is one of the most historic craft breweries in the Midwest. Famous for introducing the world to Bourbon County Stout in 1992, the brewery revolutionized the modern craft beer landscape by proving that beer could be aged in oak barrels.

How it is made

Goose Island pioneered the barrel-aging movement in the 1990s by aging imperial stout in freshly emptied bourbon barrels. This coveted annual release represents the pinnacle of their brewing and blending mastery inside their Chicago brewhouse.
