UPDATE: This badge has been extended until Jan, 31st, 2019

Black Friday may be known to most as a day of sweet deals, but in the beer world it's the day Goose Island, the brewer of the first bourbon barrel aged beer, releases their coveted Bourbon County Brand series. First brewed more than 20 years ago after a chance encounter between former brewmaster Greg Hall and legendary distiller Booker Noe, the Bourbon County Brand series continues to be a highly sought after favorite.

This year's release features the beer that started it all, Original Bourbon County Brand Stout, as well as seven distinct variants for you to savor. In addition to these complex, yet delicious beers, we have three brand new badges for you to unlock. These badges will be available from November 21st - Janurary 31st, 2019, giving you plenty of time to celebrate the holidays with Bourbon County.

First, partake in one (1) Original Bourbon County Brand Stout (any vintage) and you'll unlock the "Bourbon County Stout - Part 1" badge.

Next, enjoy the heavy, rich complexity of one (1) Bourbon County Brand Coffee Barleywine (2018 version ONLY) or Bourbon County Brand Coffee Stout (any vintage) to unlock the "Bourbon County Stout - Part 2" badge.

Wrap everything up with the decadent chocolate notes of one (1) Proprietor's Bourbon County Brand Stout (any vintage) and you'll be rewarded with the final "Bourbon County Stout - Part 3" badge.
