    Haven't had them all but the best bottled beer (non-sister) I've had from GI was Mild Winter.

    Please read...
    If you don't like any non BCBS/sister series beer from Goose, why would you respond to this thread?

    Why would you bother posting either if you are going to finish your statement saying the sister beers are your favorite?

    Sofie isnt part of the sister series. Its a non specialty year round beer. Just as Matilda and Pepe Nero arent part. The sister series is specific to what was 3 and now 5 beers.

    Matilda's also been sold for over 10 years now. I'd consider it one of their "regular" beers before something like Goose IPA or Fulton

    I've always been a sucker for their IPA. One of my go-to IPAs for summer.

    Whoops, looks like you guys are right. My mistake.

    I'd like to take this opportunity to change my answer to Sofie.

    I like Goose IPA and the fact I got it for $23 for a case of pounders - it was a mistake. Supposed to be like $34-36?

    Their IPA isn't that bad, a 12 pack to bring to a party only costs a little bit more than Budweiser. I think last time I bought it was under $12.

    I've always thought their IPA is better than it gets credit for. Honkers is good, better on tap. 312, not really a fan. Those are the only ones I've had. Their regular lineup isn't great, but it's solid, not to mention cheap.

    The IPA is pretty good.

    I know in CT they run 16 oz. case specials of beer for $18 from the distributor. Shock Top, Goose IPA, Blue Point, Bud Lime, etc. Could be a nationwide AB thing?

    I don't think so. Looked at another stores website and it states $33.99case of pounders for Goose IPA. That would be cool though and I would definitely buy more Goose IPA if it was $22.99/case.

    All their regularly brewed beers are average, at best, IMO. I don't buy any of them.
