We're kicking off barrel-aged beer season with our annual preview of the Bourbon County Brand Stout lineup.

Barrel to Bottle samples this year's lineup of Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout.

Curious about this year’s lineup of Bourbon County Brand Stout? We had a chance to visit the Goose Island Barrel Warehouse to give them a taste and we’re excited to report that Goose brought the thunder in 2023!

This week on Barrel to Bottle, we’re revisiting the 2022 Bourbon County Stout line-up to try the easter egg single-distillery variants and more.

Binny’s Home Bartender brings you an eye-opening cocktail recipe - The Siesta. Tequila, lime, grapefruit and Campari make for a bittersweet party in your mouth. No sleep till Jalisco!

Binny's Home Bartender creates this cocktail using Patrón's new El Cielo Tequila. It's a heavenly delight.

It’s the end of October, which means it’s time to taste some Bourbon County Stout. Our friends at Goose Island were good enough to invite the Barrel to Bottle crew to their Barrel House and taste through the 2022 lineup.

Binny’s Demo Kitchen perfectly pairs Grilled Tequila-Lime Trout and Watermelon Salsa with Mulderbosch sauvignon blanc from South Africa. Berkley’s Trumer Pils is the call when it comes to beer or try it with a watermelon cocktail from our resident mixologist.

A quintessential poolside sipper, the Watermelon Margarita. Our recipe utilizes ice cubes made from rich agua fresca for a more intense watermelon flavor and ice cold slushy texture. A summery frozen cocktail designed to combat the heat. Binny's Home Bartender leans into watermelon season with recipes for Watermelon Agua Fresca, Frozen Watermelon Margarita, Watermelon Rosé Spritzer and a Watermelon Cooler.

Our resident mixologist loves to riff on cocktails and now you can do it too with three variations on the classic Tequila Sunrise cocktail.
