Goose Island Chicago, Old Town Pour House plan tap takeover
Goose Island Bourbon County stout, Matilda will be among options available
CHICAGO (WLS) -- Old Town Pour House is collaborating with Goose Island for a tap takeover.
It coincides with Old Town Pour House's 10th anniversary, and, to celebrate, the taps and the music will be flowing for a takeover like no other. There will be two sneak-peek beer dinners, Wednesday and Thursday, and the takeover event on Friday.
On Friday, 45+ taps will be taken over by Goose Island, featuring iconic and exclusive brews, including a variety of Bourbon County Stout (2 yr. Reserve Rye, Cherrywood, Midnight Orange, Barleywine, and others!), vintage pours of acclaimed brews like Matilda, Lolita and Gillian, over 20 barrel-aged selections, and much, much more.
Also featured proudly on tap by the Old Town Pour House team is their collaborative beer with Goose Island, Bottlenectar. The light-bodied and crisp pale ale is one of the top brewery/restaurant collaborations around, incorporating the Huell Melon Hop - one that has been growing in popularity among top brewers - which offers an incredibly compelling finish.
