It was a day of firsts. We won’t lie. There are many perks to working at a newspaper, but few stack up to receiving a beer in the mail for the first time (subtle hint to other brewers).
Yet not only was this our first time to receive beer in the mail here at New Times, it was our first time trying a beer aged in bourbon barrels. Bourbon County Brand Stout from The Goose Island Beer Co is aged ten months.
How does this unique “massive imperial stout” stack up?
