Chicago’s Goose Island opens first European pub in Shoreditch

Goose Island Beer Company has opened its first European Brewpub, located in Shoreditch, which will offer food, live music and beer.

Inspired by the brewery’s Chicago offering, the Shoreditch Brewpub will bring previously unavailable Goose Island brews such as Old Man Grumpy, Fog Bowl, Next Coast, and Bourbon County Stout. The food menu at the pub will be Chicago-inspired with a pizza selection, subs and classic American favourites such as wings and pretzel bites.

Live music programming at the Brewpub will include both indie and mainstream acoustic and DJ acts, one off microbrews, tap takeovers, and brewery tours.

Andrew Walton, brewmaster at Goose Island Beer Company, said: “I cannot wait for the doors of the Shoreditch Brewpub to open and am so stoked for Goose Island fans and fans-to-be to see what we have in store. I’ve been working on some crazy delicious microbrews that’ll be available exclusively at our Shoreditch Brewpub.

“I know London has always held a special place in Goose Island’s history, and I can’t wait for us to make our mark on British beer culture, creating a new experience in the heart of east London, where foodies, beer drinkers and music lovers alike can join together in appreciation of a good time – and great beer.”
