Goose Island Bourbon County - 2024 (Chicagoland)

I don't think we know yet. I think there's a high probability that Rare will be available in some format, maybe just from Fulton and Salt Shed, sometime in the future.
There was no extra bottle sale at Rare day despite speculation that something would be available for purchase. So there's that.

 

Also should note that all the Rare was poured from bottles so seems like they didn't keg any of it. I wouldn't expect it showing up all over the place in the coming years.

 

Hahahahahahahahahaha

 

They did not indeed. Your best bet will be the two Goose properties. When and how? Only time and a social media manager will tell.

 

History would suggest they’ll be available for onsite consumption post BlackFriday and to go sometime on Jan/Feb. You’ll pay the to go premium though.

 

At this point in time I have very little excitement about 2024 Goose Island Bourbon County beers. Ya I will buy a few if there in front of me thou. The Prop barleywine sounds like it's not for me at all.
I still have 2023 regular, Angel & Eagle plus other older bottles in the basement

 

Age has been very kind to 2022 Prop.

 

Used to buy all the variants, but now I just get the OG and Prop. Variants are overpriced and overhyped. Plus as we've seen the last several years (at least here in the Chicagoland area) most of the variants hang around for a good long while at Binny's and other stores.

Btw for any Costco members, they usually have the OG and all the variants for a bit cheaper on BF compared to Binny's, Jewels or your local liquor stores.

 

I wasn't going to go out on BF morning, but now I'm getting fomo for the Vanilla Rye. Unfortunately most stores here only get one case of everything, and the variants that aren't $50 go really fast and are never seen again. The OG sounding good as usual. Let's see if it lives up to 2023, which was very good.

 

Any StL peeps here know the best places in StL to get BCBS on Black Friday? I have a friend who will be down there this year for Thanksgiving and he wasn't sure as he's typically in town by us. I figured Total Wine, Schnucks, and/or Costco, but I honestly don't know.

 

After the same info. I'm typically in Chicago on Friday but this year visiting family for turkey day instead of Christmas. I won't be back through StL until Saturday so hoping I can pick up some cask along the way. Or I'll be passing through chi town headed back home. Or maybe the Binny's in Champaign.

 

Binny's and Schnucks (particularly Champaign and Savoy locations) are worth a check. Our Costco will be good for the cheapest regular in town.

 

I wasn't planning on going out on Friday, but the VR and promises to some out of state buddies means I will be. Hopefully everything will be as easy to get as the last few years'.

 

Binnys trying to not sit on this year's bottles for years. Discounting all variants $5 off from the jump, and regular $3 off.

 

I’ll roll the dice on VR for $19.99

 

Can you cite a source on this? Looking for full list with prices if that’s where it came from. Thank you!

 

Came in an email from Binnys. Discount with Binny's card.

I like that. If you have a number with them, does that count as a "Binny's card"?

 

So they're publishing these crossed-out prices to make it seem like a great deal?

Or are they all disounted already?

 

Yes. If you're giving them your phone number at check out, you'll get those prices.
