The 2025 Goose Island Bourbon County lineup is big on dessert, bourbon
Goose Island's Bourbon County Stouts have been around since 1992, emerging as one of the most visible pioneers of the big, bold and boozy style. Each year, the brewery -- now owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev -- unveils a supporting cast of all-star beers to supplement the original. 2025 will be no different, but with a minor twist. This will be the first year the company offers its stouts in four packs of 10-ounce bottles alongside its standard 16.9-ounce vessels.
The 2025 Goose Island Bourbon County lineup is:
Last year's lineup included similarly indulgent flavors like macaroon and vanilla rye and lived up to expectations. If you want to read about how those turned out, you can check out the 2024 review. Otherwise, you're stuck waiting until November 28 before you can head to your local bottle shop and see what they've got in store.

Shemar Stewart agrees to deal with Bengals after contentious negotiations
Shemar Stewart's unusually lengthy and contentious contract dispute with the Cincinnati Bengals ended Friday, as the rookie pass rusher agreed to a fully guaranteed four-year, $18.97 million deal. The contract agreement was confirmed by Stewart's agent, Zac Hiller. Stewart's deal means that every first-round pick from April's NFL draft has agreed to a contract. The only unsigned draft selection is Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins, a second-round choice. The Bengals agreed to a concession on the payout structure of the deal in exchange for Stewart accepting contract language on voiding future guarantees that the team had been seeking, according to a person with knowledge of the negotiations, who added that other teams have similar language in players' deals. The Bengals previously had been unwilling to offer a concession in another area to get their preferred contract language. The NFL's rookie pay system, originally implemented as part of the 2011 labor agreement between the team owners and the players' union, leaves relatively little to be negotiated in a contract. The length of the deal is predetermined, and the overall value of the contract is all but set by the player's draft position. Issues such as the portion of guaranteed money and elements of the contract language are what remain to be negotiated. Stewart, chosen 17th overall, and the Bengals had been at an impasse over the contract language related to the team's ability to void future guarantees in the deal based on any misbehavior. 'This one is surprising,' Bengals owner Mike Brown said at a news conference Monday. 'I hesitate to get into the detail. But basically it turns on whether [future] years are guaranteed if he gets involved in conduct detrimental to football. … We say if he got involved in conduct detrimental, we'd have the right to terminate the guaranteed part for the back years. He says — or his agent says — 'Oh no, you can terminate the guaranteed part only for the remaining part of the year in which the event occurs.'' Bengals rookies, minus Stewart, reported to training camp Saturday. Veteran players reported Tuesday. 'Oddly, something like this has never occurred, in my memory, with us,' Brown said. 'I don't think it's going to occur. So we're sitting here arguing over something that I think is pretty remote. And I ask myself sometimes why the hell we're doing it. But we are. And he's doing it, too. And at some point, we've got to put this stuff behind and just get him signed and get him up here and get him so he can be a contributor.' Stewart's deal gives the team a fifth-year option, as with all contracts for first-round picks. Stewart had been working out at Texas A&M, where he played in college. He and his advisers were believed to have been keeping all options open as the contract dispute with the Bengals dragged on. There was speculation about Stewart sitting out the season and reentering the NFL draft next year, or even attempting to return to college football. But all along, the path of least resistance was the Bengals and Stewart working out a deal. And the Bengals' willingness to offer a compromise finally allowed that to occur. Now the team can focus its negotiating efforts on veteran pass rusher Trey Hendrickson, who led the NFL with 17.5 sacks last season and is holding out from training camp in a contract dispute. It has become rare for rookies to miss time in training camp because of contract disputes, as the rookie pay system generally has worked as designed. The second-round signings recently fell into place rapidly after a negotiating logjam — over the portion of guaranteed money in the deals — resulted in 30 of the 32 second-rounders being unsigned as camps neared. Until this year, no second-round pick had received a fully guaranteed contract. But in May, the first two selections in the second round of this year's draft did so. That led to a staredown, as teams and players waited to see how deep into the second-round draft order the fully guaranteed contracts would extend. But that worked itself out, and now only Judkins remains unsigned. Judkins was arrested this month in Florida on a battery charge related to domestic violence allegations.

Policy officially takes over for Murphy as president/CEO at Packers' shareholders meeting
Associated Press GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Ed Policy began his tenure as the Green Bay Packers' president/CEO by paying tribute to his predecessor. Policy officially took over for Mark Murphy on Friday as the NFL's only publicly owned franchise held its annual shareholders meeting. During Murphy's 17 seasons on the job, the Packers made 13 playoff appearances, with the 2010 team winning a Super Bowl. 'I assure you that going forward I'm going to lean heavily on your example and your pearls of wisdom as I move the organization into the future,' Policy said. Murphy is stepping down because he reached the franchise's mandatory retirement age of 70 earlier this month. Murphy said he felt he could continue meeting the demands of this position but added that he agrees with the Packers' retirement policy. 'In my career – business and with the league and others – you see examples where maybe people stay on a little too long, so I think this serves the Packers well,' Murphy said. Policy, 54, didn't focus much on his own plans during the shareholders meeting, which instead pretty much served as a testimonial for Murphy. There were plenty of shouts of 'Thank you, Mark,' among the 6,529 shareholders in the Lambeau Field stands. On a hot afternoon, many shareholders tried to cool themselves off by waving fans that featured Murphy's face. A tribute video included messages from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and former commissioner Paul Tagliabue among others. Murphy signed autographs and greeted fans after the Packers' Friday morning practice and again after the shareholders meeting. 'It's a little bittersweet,' Murphy said. 'Obviously, I'm a very appreciative and I also feel honored, too, that the fans have been so supportive of me and the organization. But (I'm) really excited too for the future of the organization and for Ed in particular.' The Packers say Murphy, who played defensive back for Washington from 1977-84, is believed to be the only person to earn a Super Bowl ring both as a player and as a team's chief executive. He was on Washington's 1982 championship team. His stint as Green Bay's president/CEO included the construction of Titletown, a 45-acre development adjacent to Lambeau Field that features shops, restaurants and apartments. He capped his tenure earlier this year by welcoming the NFL Draft to Green Bay, an event that drew an announced three-day total attendance of 600,000. Murphy also presided over multiple renovations to Lambeau Field, including the opening of a new home locker room this week. 'He's been tremendous for us,' wide receiver Jayden Reed said. 'I thanked him today, knowing this was his last day here, so I went up to him and I thanked him for everything. Without him, we wouldn't be standing in this locker room right now. He's been a tremendous help to all of us, very supportive. He gets this thing done. I appreciate him for that.' Murphy said he hopes to stay involved in the game and noted that he's talked to Goodell about things he'd like to do on a league level. He also mentioned spending more time with his family and increasing his involvement in his charity work and in the golf course he owns at Baileys Harbor, Wisconsin. The Packers' board of directors unanimously selected Policy as Murphy's replacement after a search committee recommended him last year. Policy, the son of former San Francisco 49ers and Cleveland Browns president, joined the Packers as vice president and general counsel in August 2012 and was promoted to chief operating officer in January 2018. 'I want to thank you, our owners, for investing so much in me over the past 13 years,' Policy told the shareholders. 'It's been really special, and I intend to pay it back with results both on and off the field.' Packers coach Matt LaFleur, general manager Brian Gutekunst and executive vice president/director of player operations Russ Ball report to the president/CEO under the team's leadership structure. All three of them have two years remaining on their contracts. Policy said earlier this year he has no plans to extend those contracts before this season, though he praised all three men and noted his long working relationships with them. '(I'm) certainly going to miss Mark and everything that he's done for this place, but feel like we're in great hands with a guy like Ed Policy,' LaFleur said. Murphy was asked what advice he had for Policy. 'The one thing I told him is he's got to be himself,' Murphy said. 'I've seen him grow quite a bit as a leader. The search ended up with him. They did a great job. There's no question he's positioned and ready to have success. 'He and I have talked about it. Don't be afraid to change things. Follow your instincts. He's got really good business sense. Hopefully we put him in a position where he can have success not only in the short term but the long term of the organization.' NOTES: LaFleur said OL Aaron Banks is 'day to day' with a back issue. … Rookie WR Savion Williams didn't practice Friday due to a concussion. ___ AP NFL: recommended Item 1 of 3
