Goose Island Bourbon County 30th Anniversary Reserve Stout 2022

Thirty Years. One Legendary Stout.

Goose Island Bourbon County 30th Anniversary Reserve Stout is a monumental release celebrating three decades of the beer that defined an entire category of American craft brewing. Bourbon County Brand Stout — first brewed in 1992 — is widely credited as the original bourbon barrel-aged stout, the beer that launched a thousand imitations and cemented Goose Island's place in craft beer history. The 2022 30th Anniversary Reserve is a special, limited expression crafted to honor that legacy with extraordinary depth, complexity, and age-worthiness. A true collector's release.
