January 24, 20206 yr The cans & packaging look cool as fuck. I’ll need to find a way get some of this shit shipped down to Nashville.
January 24, 20206 yr Honkers Ale was my favorite, then they stopped making it....I'm ready for a new favorite...thanks Goose Island

January 24, 20206 yr I'd buy it just for the packaging. I mean, I'll drink the hell out of it, too. But the can is bad ass.
January 24, 20206 yr I hope they sell 24 oz. cans. It would look cool on display in my Man/Baby cave. That's what you get when you've got 4 grand kids.
January 24, 20206 yr Goose Island is a pretty bland brewery overall but I'll definitely be buying this just because.

I always felt they were much better before they were bought out by Bud or whatever corporate overlord owns them now. Now I find their offerings to be pretty Meh as well.

I'm a beer snob, I admit it and I know it's an asshole trait. I drink Fin Du Monde religiously, Founders (pretty much anything, because for my money that's the best brewery in the world), and in general I love belgium tripels and quads. I don't enjoy drinking a lot of low ABV beers because of the calories and it makes me feel bloated and full. I like high ABV beers in general; have 2 or 3 and set for the night. Triple Karm, Fin Du Monde, St Bernardus are three of my favorites. Fin du Monde the best beer in the world for my money and imo. I think Goose Island is too passive, doesn't take a lot of chances/risks, and tend to make safe beers. I like Founders because they make amazing beer (CBS, KBS, All Day) but they also make a lot of creative beers and take chances. Edited January 24, 20206 yr by Look at Ray Ray Run

Appeasing the masses is much more important than niche markets when you become that large; it hurts your portfolios diversity, but it creates a far more consistent product and that's what mass produced breweries need to do; make sure their offerings are consistent and drinkable by the majority.

This is true. And I appreciate that the brand is still around and reps Chicago. I love the branding & design on this offering and I will definitely give it a try at the park this summer. But they have a long way to go to beat out Lagunitas, Revolution, or Three Floyds for local breweries IMO. Edited January 24, 20206 yr by SouthWallace

I will check them out at Binny's....a nice 1 or 2 good beers while watching baseball can't beat it Also, sometimes I just want a safe beer....like I said before I loved Honkers Ale....that was a nice safe beer ?

Far too many good true micros in Chicagoland area to drink this swill. Noon Whistle Hop Butcher Phase Three Old Irving Edited January 24, 20206 yr by Moan4Yoan

If you've never had it, give Founders Solid Gold a try for a lager/pilsner style beer.
