Is this a real Goose Island Bourbon County?

Whoa, what is that? What word does it have after "brand" (it's hard to tell from the pic)?

 

Clever homebrew label?

 

Bourbon County Brand Scoop? Does it even say Goose Island on the label... or perhaps Moose Island?

 

Is the title question even needed?

 

Without the Label information required by the TTB it is not.

how's it taste?

 

Finally - a BCBS for those who boycott Anheuser-Busch InBev and its wholly-owned subsidiaries!

 

Photoshopped fake. Look at the "Bourbon County". You could draw a straight line right across the letters, but they should curve with the bottle. This is a picture of another beer with the "Bourbon County" photoshopped on.

 

A little Photoshoppin' (inverting and removing color, adjusting lighting and contrast) of that bad pic in the OP, and there's something there (I guess the Gov't Health Warning on that era label was on the back or side?)

Here's a straight line - plus the first "B" and the "N" and "Y" are pretty distorted, just as they would be photographing the label on a round bottle...

 

"In that era?" One thing fairly easily visible in the OP picture is "2017" near the top of the label.

 

Yeah, I'm talking about the era label they copied... I mean, if you're gonna fake it, you're going to keep it looking as authentic and legal as possible except for the year ---- and "SCOOP".

 

Fake news. Nice try, comrade.

 

Your buddy has too much time on his hands

 

Dude, just use google images to find out if it's real (no) or fake (yes). It's not even close, a 2nd grader could tell.

 

Is that a 12 oz. bottle? I thought all Bourbon County products went to a larger format.

 

What I find interesting that nobody has pointed out is the "3 Sons Brewing Company" logo at the top. And the fact that it says bourbon county brand "scoop"

 

LOL that is cool, but not real.

 

Looks like something you’d find someone hawking out of a Carson on the south side, along with some ‘Ray-Bam’ shades and ‘Huey Vuitton’ purses...
