If you are a beer drinker you are no doubt aware of the yearly release of Goose Island’s Bourbon County Brand Stout. If you plan to purchase these this year I would like to give a big thanks for your support and say that I really appreciate it. Wait, what’s that up in the sky? I think it may be an airplane with some bubble letters on it… It is! And it says: Extra Cabrona Beer. That’s right my friends. John Hall, founder of Goose Island, decided to send out some love my way. Thank you John!

Out of margaritas again, but what is this extra cabrona beer I have in my fridge? It seems a bit early to be drinking beer. Perhaps it was here all along and I just never noticed it before. It is, after all, a pretty inconspicuous brown bottle with no label. The only clue is the faded copy of the price tag that I noticed when cleaning off the top shelf of my fridge yesterday.

Whenever I meet up with friends at a bar and we decide on a round of drinks, it’s always “you want what?” Everyone ends up doing their own thing. I pretty much always ask for an Extra Cabrona Malt Beer. But then the bartender asks me if I want to pay the extra cabrona price (like $2 more) and I immediately back off from my original decision.

Here is a story about a guy who opened up an extra can of beer. The name of that beer was Cabrona and it was a very amazing beer because it suited every occasion.

There’s never enough beer.

Out of beer in New York? Move to the jungle.

Remember those old school beer commercials? The heavy set guy in the ad for a beer would introduce a rival beer brand by showing how bad it was. He’d drink a swig or two, and immediately have a disappointed look on his face. Not only did he speak badly of the rival brand but he also gave the name of his own beer while doing it. The next commercial in the series showed him drinking his own brew with an ear-to-ear grin on his face.
