As a law student on both a budget and a diet, I decided to indulge once a week in my love for craft beer. The result was a weekly ritual involving an in depth look into the specific beer I chose. The following are my picks for The Beer of The Week. I urge you to go out and support craft beer, both locally, nationally, and internationally. Most importantly, find that time during the week to sit, relax, and indulge! Cheers!
Beer of the Week 85 - 9/7/2011: Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Vanilla Stout
The newest spin-off of Goose Island’s celebrated Bourbon County Stout (see the first spin-off at Beer of the Week 40). Provided by Doug Boehm and Robert Fink as dessert at a German beer dinner. This one was all sorts of awesome. As a vanilla lover, I was floored by how well integrated the vanilla bean was with the base beer (which is 13% ABV and aged in bourbon barrels). Sweet but not cloying, this one had all I love in a beer: vanilla, bourbon, high ABV. Unfrtunately, this one went SO quick, that there are probably no bottles left. Feel free to write Goose Island telling them to make more!
