The Goose Island Brewery in Chicago is one of the top craft breweries in America, and I'm glad to see their fine beers becoming more and more available at bars and restaurants in New York and beyond. Goose Island opened in 1988, I visited the original brewpub in Lincoln Park many times in the early 90s. Since then, Goose Island has gone on to win countless awards and gained much respect in America's craft brewing community.
On a recent night in SoHo, Puck Fair held a Goose Island promotion night, with a dazzling and delicious offering of six Goose Island beers on tap. I sampled four of them: Summertime, Honker's Ale, India Pale Ale, and 312 Urban Wheat. I loved all four, with a tip of the cap to the Honker's Ale, a longtime favorite. Two other beers were also available: Pepe Nero and Mathilda, both Belgian style ales. Unfortunately, one of the most talked-about Goose Island beers, the Bourbon County Stout, didn't make the cut, but I hear it's coming around in the Fall.
