I think Goose Island produces very good beer.

Some of their beers are still pretty good, the problem is they used to produce Great beer. Read up on the new AB/IB CEO, he's is slashing quality ingredients in all their offerings making him a darling on Wall Street and the bane of microbrew fans everywhere.

Easy answer on that one. Goose Island is owned by ABI, and despite what a mega-brewer says about leaving the craft brewery alone, they cannot help themselves. They employ the big brewer approach to everything, which means chasing volume. Just the way it is and good for you if you like Goose Island.

Hopefully the Bourbon County Stout will be more plentiful and cheaper

It definitely won't be cheaper, at least on a per ounce basis. I think the smaller bottles this year might make it a bit easier to procure a bottle, but who knows.
