Sorry Furley my English is worse than your math. I think I was trying to brag about getting a very good Pale Ale for $6, but I failed miserably. I had the Devil Dancer which is being sold for $20 but decided too much money, I was going to get a bottle of Howler which sells for $8 but decided on the Pale Ale instead of the others. Again my attempts to brag suck and my "storytelling" is just as terrible.Tonight I picked up a bottle of Howler Equinox, saving it for tomorrow afternoon to share with my brother-in-law.
Tomorrow night I am heading to a graduation party of the daughter of a friend of mine, she received a full scholarship to Brown University to play hockey, so my friend and his wife will be going all out. I am planning on bringing a bottle of Black Tuesday to share with my friend.

Thanks, GB. I just saw this and I'm about to crash for the night. But I will note this for my next trip to El Paso.
Agreed. Even though it's switching between a random storm and some sun here in Chicago, gonna go get this today for the solstice. Hopefully in cans. For some reason I am on a huge canned craft beer kick.

The beer used to be called "Smells Like Weed" or something like that, and they were required to change it.Sebowski said:

Never seen the show. Beer was alright. Nothing to write home about. They said it's a red ale brewed with ancho chiles, but I didn't taste the peppers at all.I hope it is better than the show.Community Beer Works IPA

Two Cali only beers and a midwest beer that was released in January...
Hopslam sucks, but you can't judge t based on what you had tonight.

My local World of Beer franchise just announced that they are doing a Goose Island Bourbon County event tomorrow. They are tapping kegs of 2012 Bourbon County, 2012 Bourbon County Coffee, and 2013 Proprietor's Bourbon County (Chicago only release). I'm super pumped about the Proprietor's release because I didn't think I was ever going to get to try it. I will definitely be taking a Lyft home tomorrow night.

Finally got my hands on some Enjoy by... Holy crap this stuff is good. I'm gonna go back and buy them out tomorrow if there is any left. Are these different every time, or is it the same beer every time they release these?

I had the Proprietor's Bourbon County (imperial stout aged in Templeton rye whiskey barrels with toasted coconut) and Bourbon County Coffee last night. The Proprietor's was really delicious. I usually think that coconut flavors don't hold up very well in beers, but this beer was a coconut bomb that smelled like a fresh whiskey soaked coconut. They used almost 3,000 pounds of toasted coconut for 88 barrels worth of beer. It was a really sweet and decadent beer with flavors of toasted coconut, dark and milk chocolate, spicy rye whiskey, luscious caramel, molasses, oak, and vanilla.
The Goose Island brewers are still in town doing another tap takeover, so I am going to try to seek out some of the Bourbon County Vanilla that they are tapping tonight.

Any chance us plebes can get our hands on Proprietors? Do they ship bottles at any point during the year? How bout in Chicago at the brewery, could one sample all of the Bourbon County beers? I was in O'Hare for a few hours a year ago and completely skipped the Goose Island bar because there was nowhere to sit 
, if I knew then what I know now.

Nope. Styles tend to differ just a bit based on geography though, and I do prefer the West Coast/San Diego style IPAs. No crystal malts whatsoever, please, and dry hopped to the bajeesus. Hop Slam smells like cat piss. We did a completely blind DIPA tournament last year and Hop was in the bottom third. Too malty and I hate the smell. I kept getting some sent to me as extras in trades a few years ago and just left one in the fridge for over a year. It was much better that way. Just like a light barley wine.
Unfortunately, we haven't really figured out the barley wine out here yet. Most have way too many hops. Old Numbskull is the only good one made locally.

Much better post. Not liking a beer doesn't mean it sucks, it just means you don't care for it. Hopslam is widely accepted as a great beer, but not everyone is going to love it.

The Proprietor's was only distributed in bottles locally in the city of Chicago and was released on Black Friday after Thanksgiving. I don't think you will find it on tap at the brewery, unless it is for some special event. It's an extremely rare beer. From what I've heard, the asking price for a bottle of Proprietor's in beer trades has been exhorbitant. That's why I was so stoked to see Goose Island tapping a keg of it last night. I thought I had already missed my chance to get any. I would keep an eye out for any Goose Island Migration Week events in a city near you, as the Goose Island brewers travel around and do some Bourbon County tappings in various cities across the U.S. They just happen to be in Denver this week.Any chance us plebes can get our hands on Proprietors?
