Late 2009 was a little rough for our goose that hails from Goose Island. He received a kerchief of sorts when we did some decorating for the holidays. A couple of weeks later he got a brand new pair of googly eyes. He had a whistling pair of lips in his mouth for New Years Eve. And then he decided to grow a beard of all things. See below for the evidence.

So getting down to business, we decided to give the goose a rest for a while. In his place we have the wonderful Guinness 250 stout. Only brewed for a limited time, once it’s gone, it’s gone for good. So get it while you can. The faster you drink it, the faster the goose can get back to his proper home.
