Last night was Bourbon County Stout Night. A night where we slow things down and sip on 2013 and 2014 Bourbon County Stout, 2014 Proprietor’s Bourbon County Stout, 2014 Bourbon County Coffee Stout and a very, very special vertical flight of 2010 AND 2014 Vanilla Rye Bourbon County Stout.
It was a good night.
There are meals and then there are MEALS. Last night I sat down for a five course beer dinner prepared by Chef Stephanie Izard and her fantastic team. Each course was paired with a Founders beer, including the extremely rare CBS and an exclusive taste of the upcoming Blushing Monk.
Last night we had the great privilege of officially welcoming Urban Chestnut Brewing to Chicago. In true Urban Chestnut fashion, there was plenty of tasty beer, a German-style feast and, of course, a punk polka band playing NOFX, Op Ivy and Brian Adams covers.
The event was also a part of our Secret Beer Party series, which meant that we got to party with a bunch of you guys! Thanks for joining us, we had a blast. Read More
Stop us if you’ve heard this from us before but we’re really passionate about the way that beer elevates a dining experience. Which is one of the reasons we get so excited when Chicago Restaurant Week rolls around. I mean, is there anything better than 250 restaurants offering special prix fixe menus? That’s an almost uncountable number of opportunities for beer and food pairings.
To celebrate the beginning of Restaurant Week, we joined 1,500 fellow foodies at First Bites Bash, the official kick-off event produced by Choose Chicago. Hosted inside the magnificent Great Hall at Chicago Union Station, it was a night of savory and sweet tastings from over 50 of Chicago’s most celebrated chefs and restaurants… all paired with Goose Island beers. Check out this post to see what we paired with our Goose Island beers and learn more about how you can win a VIP tour of the Goose Island brewery!
Just Enough of a Good Thing: The 12th Annual Festival of Wood & Barrel Aged BeerI’ve never been to Comic-con. I’ve seen photos and read articles but I’ve never actually been there. Yet I think I might have a pretty good sense of what it’s like. If one were to take all the limited-edition merchandise, summer blockbuster previews, movie star panels, and passionately costumed cosplayers, and replace them with beer, beer, beer, and passionately bearded men, then the experience would be just about identical to that of attending FoBAB.
