Why Truck Chase When You Can Drink Local?
If you missed out on Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout this year, don’t worry, because there’s plenty enough local stouts to fill the void. And you’re probably better off anyways. Bottles of Big Ditch’s Bourbon Barrel Aged Towpath Imperial Stout ($15, 10.8% ABV) can still be had and Resurgence Brewing is releasing their Bourbon Barrel Aged Sponge Candy Stout ($12, 10% ABV) on Wednesday, November 30 at 4pm. There’s also Community Beer Works’ The Snow (10% ABV), Pearl Street’s Liquid Courage (10.2% ABV) and 42 North’s Kosmonaut (9.5% ABV) to name a few. So, in other words, don’t truck chase, just grab yourself a fresh Buffalo heavy-hitter instead.

Flying Bison Brewing are preparing for the release of their first ever oak aged sour ale, Patrona Imperatrice, a golden sour ale fermented with a combination of wild yeasts inside an oak barrel for 12 months. “Patrona Imperatrice is the closest we’ve ever come to producing a Belgian-style lambic beer,” Flying Bison says. “The last sample we took from the barrel was an absolute delight and we can’t wait to try it bottle conditioned with champagne yeast!” Patrona Imperatrice will be released in limited 750mL bottles towards the end of the year. Plans call for only 120 bottles to be made available, so stay tuned for a release date.

Thin Man Brewery will increase their stable of IPA’s by two come this Thursday with the release of the new Burning Money IPA (6.6% ABV), thusly named because ‘hops are expensive and we used a ton in creating this juicy bomb of a beer,’ Thin Man says. “Drink this 6.6% IPA fresh and really taste the orange juice, pineapple juice, mango juice and juice juice,” they add. Burning Money IPA will be tapped at 4pm on Thursday, December 1. Additionally, No Pressure (5.1% ABV), Thin Man’s New England-style IPA, will return to the draught lines on Thursday.
