Goose Island Bourbon County - 2024 (Chicagoland)

Mike’s post says it is replacing Prop Day. I’ll trust him- he’s pretty connected with Goose.

Plus this article also says Rare Day is replacing Prop Day and Rare Day is at Fulton. https://www.chicagofoodmagazine.com...brand-rare-stout-and-rare-day#google_vignette

 

Yeah I just saw that article.

 

Replacing it just for this year…

 

Is it called Rare Day because the Day is Rare or Rare things happen that day?

 

I think if the day is rare, rare things happen that day. And if rare things happen that day, the day is rare.

 

Until the next Rare Day! Though with every additional iteration they become less rare.

 

Because all the street food served there will be undercooked.

 

wait, this was a legit thing? Any details?

 

Curious to see what the ticket includes, because I do not want to get stuck with more Prop than I want (which is barely one).

 

At the OG Rare Day it was literally $180 to buy three bottles of OG Rare.

No infected beer was made available for us to take home.

 

Assuming you're talking about Rare Day 2015, it was 2015 Rare (not OG Rare) to be only a little pedantic. Though I know you know that...

 

No

 

What do the whisky aficionados say about King of Kentucky? Any good or just hyped because they set a high price on it? Am I correct that they came back as brand recently yet somehow have whisky aged longer than they have been back?

 

I see no mention of it, so guessing the traditional +1 of past Prop Days is no more?

 

So, if you get a ticket you only get 1 bottle of Rare, and you have to buy a bunch of sweet shit on top of that?

My interest is waning.

 

‘Member when Rare Day came with all you could drink pours, it was in the warm barrel warehouse, and you were offered 3 standalone, unpackaged Rare bottles to take home? I ‘member that….

 

And remember like a year later they put pallets of rare out at Binnys and we learned it wasn’t Rare after all.

 

I remember standing in line at the OP Binny's for this and having what is to date, still one of the strangest beer line interactions I've ever had.
