Description
Goose Island Beer Company began as a single brewpub opened in 1988 by John Hall. By 1995, John’s beer had become so popular that he decided to open a larger brewery, along with a bottling plant to keep up with demand. 1999 brought even more growth, along with an additional brewpub, and today, what was once one man’s pint-filled dream has become the Goose Island empire you know and love.

in 2011, Goose Island Beer Company was acquired by Anheuser-Busch InBev. Since then, we’ve continued to brew beer that we’re proud of and now we get to share these beers with our friends both nationwide and internationally.

On tap at Kaffee Bazaar, Ypres, Thursday 9th October 2025.. I am becoming too lazy to rate, however this pours pitch black with barely any head, big thick monster of an Impy Stout, coffee, chocolate all over this this is a great beer but it's bettered by the Firestone Walker XXV Anniversary beer.

Bottle from 2022, cellared and opened on 10/6/25. Pours black with small brown head that fades to a collar quickly. Overt roast and cold pressed coffee aroma and flavor. Harsh and bitter finish.
