Why do I always find out about these things too late?
The 4th Annual Festival of Barrel-Aged Beer is sold out. “Showcasing beers that have been aged in or on wood” I need to put these sorts of things on a calendar so I don’t miss them next year. Along with anything the Chicago Beer Society is doing too.
But if I can’t try barrel-aged beer at the festival, perhaps I can pick up some Goose Island Imperial Brown Goose when they release a limited quantity Nov. 15th. “an innovative blend of Christmas Ales from Goose Island’s 2004 and 2005 vintages – ales that have been aged in bourbon barrels.”
In other local beer news Prairie Moon has a marvelous Maredsous on tap for a limited time.
