We have another BOTW/Thursday Tasting combo dealy thing for you. For our Bomber of the Week, we’re putting all of our Goose Island 22oz format bottles at 20% off. If you need more convincing, we’ll also be tasting some of them out for our Thursday night tasting from 5-7PM on October 6th. You’ve now been informed…what you do with this information seems obvious…
This isn’t your typical beer festival, it’s a collaborative effort where fans of the funk and bacti-curious people come together to share and celebrate the often rare and certainly unconventional wild and sour ales. These beers have been produced for hundreds of years; but after shriveling to near extinction in the age of pure yeast cultures, they are on the rebound due to artisan brewers and enthusiast imbibers like you.
