Beer News - April 15

It's a busy day, and not much news. Only one story today, dedicated to our Chi-town following.
  • For our Chicago friends - you probably already know this, but Goose Island is closing their pub in Clybourn. Looks like they couldn't come to terms with the landlord.

NO. TELL ME THIS IS APRIL FOOLS. Wrigleyville is NOT what Goose Island should be. Clybourn is the heart and soul of Goose Island. This is a tragedy.

Stealing this for my blog, thanks!

Yeah my dad lives up in Naperville, just outside Chitown and sent me an article about this earlier this week. That brewpub is just killer and I will miss it when it is gone. It sounds like the owners of the property jacked the rent up through the roof because that area is highly sought after now.

Sorry to break the bad news to everyone.

By the reactions here, it sounds like I might need to try to get there before they move/close.
