On Bourbon County Coffee Stout, here is the latest (posted last week) from Goose Island Communications Coordinator, Ken Hunnemeder…

It has been taken out of barrels and the coffee has been brewed, but it has not yet been bottled. Even once the bottling occurs, it takes some time to process and get to wholesalers and for them to get it to the retailers. But things are moving.

On Bourbon County Stout, here is what he told Beernews.org today…

There will be a second release of Bourbon County somewhere around February, but that is a tentative date.

As for production versus last year, why some stores are only getting a case or less, etc., I have no information at this time.
