Episode Details

Eight years of Bourbon County tells an interesting story about Goose Island as a brewery, so we have the guy who is literally writing the book on it join us for a vertical tasting. Josh Noel from the Chicago Tribune helps us nitpick our way through eight years of BCBS. There's Goose info galore including the backlash over Josh's sleuthing on the beer's true origins, and how the brewery went from nearly out of business to being the juggernaut it is. You'll also hear about the debate over aging beers, Craig the vanilla locomotive, Loggins Run, and actual news about Josh's book release date. Don't live life two ounces at a time, man!
