| Brewery: Goose Island |
| Name of Beer:Bourbon County Brand Stout |
| Beer Style: Imperial Stout |
| Description: Originally brewed in honor of the 1000th batch at our original Clybourn brewpub. A liquid as dark and dense as a black hole with thick foam the color of a bourbon barrel. The nose is an intense mix of charred oak, chocolate, vanilla, caramel and smoke. One sip has more flavor than your average case of beer. 16.9 ounce bottle |
| Status: Limited |
| Brewery: Goose Island |
| Name of Beer:Bourbon County Brand Coffee Stout |
| Beer Style: Imperial Stout |
| Description: Everyday Goose Island smells the wonderful coffee roasting next to our brewery at Chicago's Intelligentsia Coffee and Tea. They put the same passion and skill into their coffee as Goose Island does with its beer. This excellent stout is made with Black Cat Espresso beans from our friends next door. You'll like the combination. 16.9 ounce bottle |
| Status: Limited |
| Brewery: Goose Island |
| Name of Beer:Bourbon County Brand Barleywine |
| Beer Style: Barleywine |
| Description: Aged in the third-use barrels that were once home to Kentucky bourbon and then our renowned Bourbon County Stout, this traditional English-style barleywine possesses the subtlety of flavor that only comes from a barrel that’s gone through many seasons of ritual care. The intricacies of the previous barrel denizens – oak, charcoal, hints of tobacco and vanilla, and that signature bourbon heat – are all present in this beer. Hearty and complex, Bourbon County Brand Barleywine is a titan and a timeline; a bold, flavorful journey through the craft of barrel aging. 16.9 ounce bottle |
| Status: Limited |
| Brewery: Goose Island |
| Name of Beer:Bourbon County Brand Northwoods Stout |
| Beer Style: Imperial Stout |

| Status: Restock |
| Brewery: 10 Barrel |
| Name of Beer: Cucumber Crush |
| Beer Style: Berliner Weisse |
| Description: Bend R&D brewer Tonya created this award winning masterpiece by specifically formulating a kettle sour to compliment the easy drinking qualities of cucumber. 6 pack cans |
| Status: Restock |
| Brewery: 2nd Shift |
| Name of Beer: Art of Neurosis |
| Beer Style: IPA |
| Description: AON is the first beer I made at the brewery. It is a hop sandwich brewed with Simoce & Columbus Hops, which are the greatest things in the world besides a good smack in the face. 4 pack cans |
| Status: Restock |
| Brewery: 2nd Shift |
| Name of Beer: Little Big Hop |
| Beer Style: Session IPA |
| Description: A small wonder to behold, with all of the hop flavors and aromas and coming in at only 4.9% ABV. Some people would call it a session IPA but they would be wrong because that makes no sense. It's a low alcohol double IPA or maybe an imperial table beer or an American lager that uses ale yeast and 10 times the hops as normal. This beer is stupid good. Hops used: Magnum, Cascade, Zythos, Simcoe, Columbus. 4 pack cans |
| Status: Limited |
| Brewery: 2nd Shift |
| Name of Beer: Artie |
| Beer Style: Barrel Aged Brett Saison |
| Description: Brewed with a blend of two different yeasts, aged 6 months in a neutral oak barrel with a funky Brett. Soft, complex, beautiful and exotic. 750 ml bottle |
| Status: New! |
| Brewery: Dogfish Head |
| Name of Beer: Liquid Truth Serum |
| Beer Style: IPA |
| Description: You can handle the truth! MYTH: IBUs (hop bitterness) can only be achieved in the boil. TRUTH: Uh-uh! The truth is, Dogfish Head has been doing innovative things in the world of hopping since we opened in the mid-90s. From our continual hopping method found in our 60 Minute, 90 Minute and 120 Minute IPAs to our latest innovation of post-boil hop additions found in our Liquid Truth Serum! Our unique process involving pelletized, powdered, leaf and liquefied hops makes for a blissfully inefficient IPA that's truthfully hoppy without being deceptively bitter. You'll find the perfect match of citrusy and tropical notes, making for a zesty finish ... honest. 6 pack bottles |
| Status: New! |
| Brewery: Dogfish Head |
| Name of Beer: Pennsylvania Tuxedo |
| Beer Style: Pale Ale |
| Description: A spruce-infused pale ale, Pennsylvania Tuxedo pays homage to the flannel-suited hunters and gatherers who dwell deep in the backcountry of north-central PA. Brewed in collaboration with family-run outdoor clothing company Woolrich, Pennsylvania Tuxedo is a sessionable concoction with a grassy citrus kick complemented by the resinous conifer notes of fresh green spruce tips. We went into the forests of north-central Pennsylvania and Georgetown, Del., to pick these fresh tips ourselves. A dry yet doughy malt backbone lets the hops and spruce shine while still balancing out the bitterness, making this one an easy sipper. 4 pack bottles |
| Status: New! |
| Brewery: Dogfish Head |
| Name of Beer: Siracusa Nera |
| Beer Style: Imperial Stout |
| Description: Combining a roasty Imperial Stout with a jammy Syrah wine, this beer is bold and complex. Notes of coffee, dark chocolate and anise from a blend of roasted malts meld with flavors of plums, cherries and stewed fruits from Syrah grape must in this jet black stout. Aged on American oak to add some light toasty vanilla to the mix. 4 pack bottles |
| Status: Limited |
| Brewery: Bell's |
| Name of Beer: Black Note |
| Beer Style: Imperial Stout |
| Description: One of the most sought-after stouts in Bell's history, Black Note Stout blends the complex aromatics of Expedition Stout with the velvety smooth texture of Double Cream Stout, each aged in freshly retired oak bourbon barrels for months. The resulting harmony of flavors captures the finest features of all three components: malty notes of dark chocolate, espresso and dried fruits, all buoyed by the warmth and fragrance of the bourbon barrel. Aimed squarely at the stout and bourbon aficionados, Black Note makes a grand statement about the art of the dark. 4 pack bottles |
| Status: Limited |
| Brewery: Schlafly |
| Name of Beer: From the Ibex Cellar: Single Malt Scottish Style Ale |
| Beer Style: Scotch Ale |
| Description: Oaky and balanced, this golden-colored ale brings boldness without being too assertive. 4 pack bottles |
| Status: Limited |
| Brewery: Abita |
| Name of Beer: Bourbon Street Maple Pecan |
| Beer Style: Nut Brown Ale |
| Description: Bourbon Street Maple Pecan is a nut brown ale that is aged in Bourbon barrels. Our Maple Pecan is brewed with a combination of pale, munich, biscuit, and caramel malts. Roasted pecans are also added to the brew for a nutty flavor and aroma. We add maple syrup in the brewhouse as well to give the beer a sweet flavor and full body. After fermentation and aging the beer is transferred into the bourbon barrels. It is then aged for another 8 weeks to absorb all of the flavors from the barrels. The result is brown ale that blends the light flavors of nuts, maple syrup, and baking bread from the beer with the warming flavors of wood and vanilla from the bourbon barrels. 22 ounce bottle |
| Status: New! |
| Brewery: Public House |
| Name of Beer: Vignoles IPA |
| Beer Style: IPA |
| Description: A true collaboration, this harvest blend combines our Elusive IPA with freshly pressed Vignoles grapes straight from the St. James Winery's vineyards. The result is incredibly smooth, with aromas of crisp grapefruit and pineapple flavors complimenting our thoughtful blend of hops. Whether you're a beer aficionado, a wine lover, or both, Vignoles IPA has flavors for you. 4 pack bottles |
