Goose Island Beer Company was founded in 1988 by current CEO John Hall after taking a trip around Europe. Hall liked the different beer flavors he found on his trip and decided that Americans who can’t go to Europe should be able to enjoy their beer.
The first brewpub was very small and was located in Lincoln Park, Chicago. The name comes from a nearby island. The company moved into a larger facility in 1995. A second location was opened 1999 in Wrigleyville. In 2011, Anheuser-Busch purchased the company.
The company offers tours of its brewing facility and boasts that they make more than 27 different flavored beers, although some are seasonal only items. The company has won more than 23 awards for their beers, including the 2010 World Beer Cup Bronze for Christmas Ale.

On a fixed income, and fixed time due to the fact that I work as a home health nurse 3-5 days a week (flip-flop), AND take care of my total care 95 yr old Mom. With that said, Goose IPA is the ONLY beer I drink. It IS my medicine to do all I do, and completely agrees with my digestive system, mentality, PH balance, etc. Quite frankly, I depend on it to the tune of a 15 pack/case a week. So, don’t ya know that I have a busted can within my 15 can case that I was looking forward to tonight, can’t leave my Mom now to go to store. and get paid tomorrow. I am not happy. It wasn’t even on the top, halfway down and 2/3 leaked out.
I purchased this case at Sheets on New Garden Dr. in Greensboro, NC…..just in case you want to help me regain my one can of beer that I was SOOO looking forward to after working all day with a quadriplegic trach and ventilator dependent patient that has MD, and now, after work, my mom.
