Goose Island’s Shamrock Stout is back

The triumphant return of a popular dark beer

Back in time for St. Patrick's Day, the Shamrock Stout from Goose Island Beer Company has returned. The dark beer was until now only available via draft in the Fulton Street Taproom in Chicago. Now, craft beer fans can enjoy the stout bottled in four-packs.

It's beyond fitting that the stout is a barrel-aged beer. Goose Island has been at the forefront of this very style, raising the bar year after year perhaps most famously through its Bourbon County beer lineup. The stout is aged for a year in bourbon barrels and treated to some cocao nibs, peppermint, and vanilla.
