Revisiting 2022 Bourbon County Brand Stout
Barrel-aged beer, lots of cheese, warm weather; that seems like a perfect combo. This week on Barrel to Bottle, we\u2019re revisiting the 2022 Bourbon County Stout line-up with some fun easter eggs and easy food pairings.
We sent Roger on a treasure hunt to track down the single-distillery variants of Bourbon County Brand Stout\xa0that saw limited release in 12-ounce\xa0four packs. Beer aged in barrels from those distilleries-Heaven Hill, Wild Turkey and Willett-was blended and bottled for the majority of 12-ounce four packs. Additionally, this is a different blend then what was in the 16.9-ounce bottles. Confused? Don\u2019t worry, we\u2019re going to walk you through it.
When you\u2019re pairing food with any alcohol you can go one of two ways; complimentary or contrasting. Roger brought some examples of each, with bleu cheese, ch\xe8vre, fig butter, dried apricots, and Fig Newton-like fig cookies. All these pair with today\u2019s beers in different way.
While some of these bottles might take a little work to track down, Sir Issac's is still out there and tasting great. Don\u2019t like the concept fool you into thinking it\u2019s just another pastry boy. It\u2019s stands well enough on its own, but Roger has brought a few food pairings to take it to another level.
