Posted in Coming Soon, Goose Island Brewing

Goose Island Bramble Rye Ships Feb 1

Goose Island Brewing’s berry/whiskey laden beer will be leaving the brewery on February 1st.  Imagine Bourbon County Stout (aged in rye whiskey), with raspberries and blackberries and you’re imaging Bramble Rye.  It follows on the heels of Coffee County, making it’s way on shelves now.

Style: Imperial Stout
Availability: 22oz bombers, Draft.

13% ABV

A couple of months ago, GI blended the barrels for this beer with John Hall’s watchful eye.

Widmer Attempting A Blackberry Gose

You don’t see gose brewed in the states often.  Widmer Brothers will be doing so soon with Marionberry Hibiscus Gose. The gose style hails from Leipzig, Germany, with 50% of the beer coming from wheat malt.  There is heavy salt present in gose brews (from the water, or salt.)   I suspect the tart flavor will be enhanced by the marionberries (blackberries.)

Style: Gose
Availability: 22oz bombers, Draft
Arrival: TBA

5.5% ABV
