The History Behind Bourbon County Stout
The story of BCS began in 1992 when Goose Island brewmaster Gregory Hall partnered with Jim Beam’s Booker Noe to create the first bourbon barrel-aged beer. Thirty years later, it remains a favorite among beer lovers for its innovative spirit and craftsmanship.
