The Brewpub will have Deth's Tar, Cafe Deth & Deth By Cherry on tap at 11am when they open. The Tap Room doesn't open until 2pm on Fridays, which is when can sales begin, as well as drafts of those 3 featured beers. The one-off variants are tapped at 5pm all at the same time.

Though no variants at the Brewpub, besides the 3 going into cans

Goose Island, per Josh Noel:
[Bourbon County] continues to generally feature the characteristics of great beer: sweetness balanced against bitterness and chocolate balanced against vanilla, all threaded together by boozy oak.

Goose Island, also per Josh Noel:
Does the world really need a bourbon-barrel aged imperial stout made with banana puree, banana essence, roasted almonds and cassia bark?

I was skeptical. So very skeptical. But it turns out it does.

 

[Ferowcious]

Noel's work 1.5 years ago and prior to that was fairly enjoyable. His recent stuff reads a lot more cynically, occasionally biased and is frankly just harder to get through.

"Beer doesn't taste like beer anymore!!! *rabble rabble*"

With all the cuts in the newspaper business, we should all be thankful that the trib can afford to have people dedicated to the InBev marketing beat.

"Beer doesn't taste like beer anymore!!! *rabble rabble*"

Per his Twitter: "Hazy IPA backlash is so three months ago. I'm about to take backlash in a fresh new direction."

So when he says "[t]hey feel less like brewers leading their audiences, more like pandering to them", it's what he's doing.

 

[Scalzo]

I mean, he does make some valid points.... See above; vanilla bros*


I wonder how many of those people pictured frequent half acre and how many went just because they were dropping rar adjunct stoots

 

[Alum]

Oddly enough even the old cranky ***** in ChiBeer Society are talking about Josh Noel today

 

[SecretSquirrel]

yep I came close to pulling trigger but didn’t...

 

[SecretSquirrel]

are there still old cranky guys left in CBS?

 

[kevanb]

Eeek! is really that popular of a beer still?

My mind exploded when I read the judging panel in that CBS thread that voted for the beer. I didn't taste the More but for a festival that features the art of barrel aging, one that was probably aged a maximum 3 months to win grand prize is a lil weird?

I agree. All beers should be barrel-aged for a minimum of 20 months, right?

 

[Scalzo]

The older the better!

just like w dry aged meats

 

[Tooch4321]

Most likely due to the fact it was a one day only release that didn't get distro...

you f*cker...age to what you want out of the beer I guess. I wanted to AGE the adjuncts and let them evolve into something else (so weirdly plumy?!?!). others want the normal base with 3 months of slight wood and the residual whiskey. in fact a 3 month age is probably perfect for a 15 plato beer so **** everything.

well, if anyone here really wants an Eeek! and missed the release and doesn't want to spend $40 on the bottle, maybe we can swap for another local release? I don't really care what, I just don't make it to many releases these days

 

[seedavid]

I'm pretty sure it got distro. I distinctly recall buying a bottle in NYC a few weeks after it was released.

I bought it for the novelty of it being a collab with Miller High Life, but as it turns out, it was really ******* good.

It's literally on shelves right now on the east coast

That is news to me, it never hit distro here in Chicago. I'm actually a bit jealous, glad other parts of the country got to try it. I am a big fan...
