Our Heritage

Three Decades of Craft Excellence

Goose Island brewing facility with stainless steel tanks

What started as a small brewpub on Chicago's riverwalk has grown into one of America's most respected craft beer brands. Founded in 1988 by a trio of homebrewing enthusiasts, Goose Island has remained fiercely committed to quality, innovation, and community.

Our beers are brewed with the same dedication today as they were on day one. We source the finest ingredients from local and international suppliers, and our brewing team continues to push boundaries while honoring classic styles.
