Crisp Little Thing

4.7% alcohol. 18 IBU. Brewed in America by Sierra Nevada Brewing. "Crisp Little Thing is a crusher, combining premium malts and laid-back hops for unreal balance and pure refreshment in every crisp, clean sip.

Juicy Little Thing

2023 Bourbon County Brand Bananas Foster Stout

13.9% alcohol. Brewed in Illinois by Goose Island Brewing. "Welcoming back another member of the family this year, Bourbon County Bananas Foster Stout makes its debut on the national stage. This recipe was first released in 2017 as Bourbon County Brand Proprietor’s Stout only to Chicago drinkers. Beloved by many, this release is especially near and dear to our innovation brewer Quinn Fuechsl’s heart.⁠ ⁠ At the time when we first released this beer, the brewery hadn’t experimented with bananas much. However, Quinn had a good feeling that the fruit, along with almond and cassia bark, would be perfect ingredients in a bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout — indeed, he was right. Sure to bring a bit of flair to your palate, this decadent pour is well-balanced with deep caramelization, aromas of fresh baked banana bread and warm notes of cinnamon and almond." https://www.gooseisland.com/beers/barrel-house-beers/2023-bourbon-county-brand-bananas-foster.html
