The Bourbon County Stout 2021 lineup is full of fun flavors to treat beer fans who are looking for unconventional flavor experiences. Based on creator Greg Hall's original recipe, Goose Island will be releasing a classic Bourbon County Stout. There are also varieties that are tied to different distilleries, including the Reserve 150 Stout aged for a year in Old Forester's 150th Anniversary Bourbon Barrels.
Those who are looking for a taste of something different will appreciate additions like the Bourbon County Classic Cola Stout, which puts a twist on whiskey and cola, and the Proprietor's Bourbon County Stout, which is said to remind of a strawberry ice cream bar.
Notably, this year's lineup includes a few higher ABV options, some even as strong as 16% ABV.
