    Nice. I know where I am going first. I like the option of the few sours/Gose in there too. Nice to mix it up.

    And for the record, that BCS randell should be cocoa nibs, vanilla beans, chilis, and cinnamon. End of discussion. :wink:

    Good lineup. Unfortunately won't be able to make it. Hopefully I'll see you guys at the summer event again.

    Maybe I'm missing something, but where does it say anything about a randell from goose? I've gone to numerous events where they have randells. Just didn't see any print about it.

    We are excited to announce we have secured a second keg of Goose Island Bourbon County Stout that will be poured at the fest through a special device called a Randall. We need your help to decide which ingredient to infuse the stout with through the Randall.

    Coffee - Ancho Chilies - Vanilla - Coconut - Cocoa Nibs

    Well hello then. I would not be opposed to any of those choices.

    My order of preference - vanilla, coconut, cocoa nibs, chilies.

    Regardless all would be cool to try.

    I'd rather enjoy another keg of BCBS without all the fancy pants stuff. I vote none. Boring, I know.

    As I have stated in another forum, it would be more fun to try something that GI has not produced and sent out. Vanilla, coconut, coffee would all be fun, but why not experiment? The likes of Hunahpu, Abraxas, Bomb!, etc are fantastic so to me a BCS version of something similar would be awesome.

    You missed the part that this would be for the second keg. You can still enjoy reg BCS (as I will as well).

    Yeah I meant having 2 kegs of BCBS rather than just the 1. I imagine the 1 keg will kick rather quickly so let's drink two!

    We have sold just over 1700 tickets and estimate the final attendance to be around 2500.
