2024 Bourbon County Brand

Proprietor's Barleywine

Back in 2013, we created our first-ever Chicago exclusive member of the Bourbon County Brand Stout Family. Proprietor’s Stout was born out of immense gratitude to our city and to celebrate the birthplace of our brewery.

This year marks the debut of a barleywine under the coveted Proprietor’s name. Having fallen in love with the popular Mexican spoon candy, brewer Colby Magratten crafted a recipe with our bourbon barrel-aged barleywine that blends together tamarind, lime, whole Guajillo chiles and piloncillo.

Chicago and the people who call it home are forever a source of inspiration in all that we do. 2024 Bourbon County Brand Proprietor’s Barleywine is a direct reflection of that inspiration and unlike anything we've ever done before. With a subtle dried fruit sweetness, refreshing lime zest and a delightfully warming finish, this barleywine is decidedly Chicago.
