Brewery offering tours & exclusive taproom beers since 1995
"Goose Island Brewery may have grown too big for its "craft" label, but it's still producing tasty brews and offers some good times with frequent tours (Thursday thru Sunday) and a tap room where you can drink Goose Island beers you can't get anywhere else." - The Post Family
"I note that Goose Island has turned its Fulton Market brewery into the focal point for the Bourbon County release, staging a block-party-style event with food, music, and giveaways outside the brewery; the company has historically also offered special Black Friday tastings at its brewpub (which once sold out quickly), though those tastings have cooled in popularity in recent years and some activities could move venues." - Ashok Selvam
"Goose Island Beer closed its original brewpub and moved a short distance off the Chicago River next to the Salt Shed, the music venue that’s replaced the Morton Salt factory, visible to motorists along the Kennedy Expressway. Goose’s new riverside patio will offer customers a special treat — while their views will be blocked, they’ll be able to hear artists performing outdoor shows, all while seated and a burger in their hands. And they won’t need a ticket... at least not yet." - Naomi Waxman
"It only took 20 years after Goose Island opened its Fulton and Wood facility for it to debut this gem of a tasting room that offers taproom specials as well as tours of the brewing facility. There’s also a huge depot of vintage bottles, some available for takeout. The tap list differs from the original Goose Island Clybourn brewpub in Lincoln Park. The original closed in 2023 and will move into the Salt Shed later in 2024." - Ashok Selvam
"I noticed the Fulton Market taproom in West Town has overtaken the Clybourn location in recent years in terms of attention, reflecting how the brewery’s center of gravity shifted away from Lincoln Park." - Ashok Selvam
