Awesome man! Enjoy and please report back with your thoughts. I’m grabbing all of the variants when released, but I’m curious to hear how they taste. I’m really looking forward to the coffee, cherry and prop this year.
You making the rounds again?
Yes sir. It’s my favorite beer release each year!
In your area that may be ok to do, out here people tell you to GFY, lol. We don't get anything for variants anymore. Goose Island hates us.
That’s a shame! And GFY are some of my favorite letters in the alphabet 😂

Surprised to hear that. They've expanded the barrel aging program so much since AB bought them out....pretty much the only good thing about the sale. We're definitely lucky in Chicago with plenty of bourbon county all over the place.
We get 3 variants and maybe a case of each at a select few shops. Why do u think I beg people for shit, lol?!?
It was awesome. Best beer fest I've ever been to. Weather wasn't bad at all and a bunch of good food options. There was a nice surprise and we were able to buy a bottle of the double barrel as part of the allotment.....I'll be saving that bottle for a special occasion. This year's prop is incredible...a very nice rebound from last year which I wasn't a big fan of. The 2 year reserve was very very good as well. Very smooth and great barrel flavor. Mon Cheri and Cafe de Olla are both dessert beers and I preferred the cheri. I think those 2 will get better as they age. Original was very good as usual and the rye reserve was solid. Much different flavor with the aging done in rye barrels. They had a "mystery vintage" line where they were pouring all sorts of older stuff. We just missed getting to try a triple barrel that was like 19% and ended up with 2018 vanilla which was my favorite from last year. A great day and I definitely have a headache this morning.
Dude, that is awesome! Sounds like a great day and congrats on getting the double barrel. You’re one of the lucky few. I’m glad to hear the prop is as good as other reviews have stated. I’ll be looking forward to diving into these and trying for myself soon enough!
One year I really need to see if I can make it there to try this prop day out!
What is the "double reserve"? Is that just the reserve or something else tat they had up their sleeves?
And what is this sorcery of a triple barrel? Who does this and not tell the world... This beer is made by witches and demons I tell you. All hush hush, Double, toil and trouble...
^ Prop Day is only attended if you win the lottery, so make sure you win before flying to Chicago.
Double reserve was aged in two separate Elijah Craig bourbon barrels (one 11 year and one 12 year) for one year in each. It's going to be near impossible to get.

Here was what I got as of 9:30a plus some regular. In between now and then I got doubles of the “non box” variants. But man, is this getting tougher each year.

Would love to try this!
So does this replace the "rare" bottles now?
Winners will then be able to purchase and pick up their bottles at the brewery starting on Nov. 29, and no proxies will be allowed.
Oh well. I'll win now.
Oh man! Well I guess you need to plan a weekend trip to Chicago soon!!
