Green Lady perhaps. Doesn't look like Beer Temple has any on tap at the moment.

If you're out in the western suburbs, The Beer Cellar has Hop Butcher Tavern Cut on draft. They normally have a few Transient bottles as well.

More importantly, they always have Afterthought.

Proud of my Museum berd brethern and sistern (heh). Both craft beers (Tooth and Claw and Domaine Dupaige) sold out well before midnight cutoff and before the macro brews at tonight’s Titanosaur sleepover. Send more Off Color. I am drinking red wine to use up my drink tickets.

They're finally doing it, making all the variants neckbeards have been begging for for years.

Vanilla back in bourbon...thank you!

I don't want to click on that so that I can believe that all of these flavors will be combined into one bottle.

Where's the one with ancho peppers, chocolate, and mashed up key lime pies? None of these are immediately apparent as awful.

Fake news?

They still haven't announced what is going into Prop...

 

[SAISON FUCK]

They still haven't announced what is going into Prop...

Per the keg collar, it looked like it was just chocolate related. BA Big John basically.

I'm going with chicha.

Ugh, you're right: "Stout Aged in Bourbon Barrels with Cocoa Nibs and Chocolate Added".

I hate it when I'm right too.

They don't have to put on the label what they did to those nibs before they went into barrels, do they?

Also, the chocolate comes from a special chocolatier who specializes in cheeseburger-flavored chocolates.

The appearance of lactose in a few of those makes me a sad panda

It appears Goose is releasing a double box Bourbon County set of Laffler's Greatest Hits...

They need to bottle Margarita Sophie. Instant hit.

same... I dont get why they need to add it but oh well. At least its not a milk stout base?

let the lactose bandaid's exist for those without the kettle or time to make a boss ass imperial stout. dont throw sugar cover up because your beer ferments perfectly and tastes like a beer. i mean we know this happened long ago but they are literally kowtowing (pun intended) to current trends instead of making them.

Bourbon County Milkshake IPA with watermelon and basil anyone?

The annoying thing is that they're following trends even though they don't need to. It's not like variants aren't going to sell out immediately. And they'll never have the cred they once had to compete with the little hype breweries. So why cave?

That said, if you're going to do a horchata stout, I would think lactose would be an obvious ingredient.

 

[DiscountMegaMall4ever]

It's not like variants aren't going to sell out immediately.

But it may make every line longer on Black Friday. At least we'll have stories.

I'd take these with a grain of salt. I've heard they're purposely putting out false labels...

Grapefruit Sofie (Paradisi) also.

For background, Margarita Sophie was a "secret keg" at the Goose Island Tent at Great Taste of the Midwest in, I wanna say, 2012? It was 50/50 Sophie and the margarita from Big Star. Straight time travel juice.

It was 2012 and I drank half my body weight of that lovely potion. Come to The Mousetrap, order a "Beer for Tacos", add one shot of Mezcal, drink and thank me later...

They did Daquiri sophie the year after. I had 4 in a row at the end of the fest and promptly blacked out upon returning to the hotel. Woke up fine 12 hours later. Good year. I still think I might make it to see Hanson at the Wisconsin State Fair after GTMW this year. I am hilariously optimistic.
