Goose Island Brewery is a brewery located in Chicago, Illinois, that began as a single brewpub opened by John Hall in May 1988 in Lincoln Park, Chicago, Illinois, and named after a nearby island. The larger brewery (as we know it today) was opened in 1995, while the second brewpub, Wrigleyville, was opened in 1999. On March 28, 2011, Goose Island announced that it would be selling its 58% stake in Fulton Street Brewery LLC (the legal name of Goose Island Brewing) to distribution partner Anheuser-Busch InBev. The remaining 42% stake, owned by Craft Brew Alliance, was also purchased by Anheuser-Busch. Because they were now more than 25% owned by a non-craft brewer, Goose Island then became a non-craft brewery. Their beers are distributed across the United States and the United Kingdom, after a stake of the company was sold to Widmer Brothers Brewery in 2006, and the brewery was able to expand into different markets. The brewer began distributing Matilda west of the Rockies in March 2010.〔 Goose Island outsources the production of some of its beers. Honker's Ale and IPA sold on the east coast is now brewed under contract in New Hampshire. Greg Hall will step down as brewmaster with the AB InBev purchase.〔 ==Brewpubs== Goose Island has two brewpubs which both serve brunch, lunch, and dinner. The 1800 N. Clybourn location has specialty food items, such as duck, rabbit, and truffle aioli served with French fries. They serve anything from a burger and fries to homemade sausages and PEI Mussels. The Wrigleyville location serves mostly pub food like burgers and chicken. The brewpubs are supplied by local farmers who raise natural meats; many of the animals are fed the same wheat and grain that was previously used to make the beer, as one sign reads "Beer Fed Pork Served Here." The Goose Island brewpubs were not a part of the sale of Goose Island Beer Company to Anheuser Busch. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Goose Island Brewery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
