Countdown

In 1992, the first ever bourbon barrel-aged stout revolutionized the beer community forever. It was here in Chicago that Bourbon County Brand Stout was born to celebrate Goose Island’s 1,000th batch of beer. Year after year, with open arms, Chicagoans continue to embrace this one-of-a-kind beer. To show our immense gratitude to our hometown friends, we created Prop Day, a tradition celebrating Bourbon County Brand Stout. For those folks who can’t wait till Black Friday, Prop Day offers the first chance to taste the upcoming line-up as well as an opportunity to take home the first bottles of Bourbon County Brand Proprietor's Stout.

ABOUT 2023 BOURBON COUNTY BRAND PROPRIETOR’S STOUT

Prop Day 2023

In the heart of Chicago winter, we were inspired by the warming flavors of a classic dessert: rice pudding. Never having used rice as an ingredient in a stout before, we were excited for the opportunity to brew these flavors into a beer worthy of the city of Chicago.⁠

⁠Using a combination of cassia bark, brown sugar, raisins and toasted rice, the final recipe is a taste of home cooking. This stout wraps you in a culinary blanket of toasted rice, vanilla custard, dried fruit, and baking spices. Proprietor’s is our love language, Chicago.
