The Ales and Tales Podcast
Finding and reviewing good beer for all. It’s hard work, but somebody has to do it. Every beer must be thoroughly explored, examined, sipped and sampled; tested for our listeners’ enjoyment. Bad ones, we suffer through...so you don’t have to. The good ones?...well, that’s just a bonus!

In this episode, we explore a real treat: Goose Island’s 2022 Bourbon County Brand Stout. This year, they’ve released an Imperial Stout aged in freshly emptied bourbon barrels from Heaven Hill, Four Roses, Wild Turkey, and Buffalo Trace distilleries. They blend the results, and bottle it as a limited release. It’s a unique experience, and it packs a punch at 14.3% ABV. So listen in and see if you would want to hunt one (or two) down for yourself!
