Goose Island Brewery

 

Goose Island Brewery

Philadelphia, PA

March 15, 2018

This was a great visit because it was my 100th brewery visit to date.  When I told the hostess, she informed everyone else in the place and I had a moment of celebrity status which I drank up with pride and enthusiasm.  I have always been a big fan of Goose Island IPA.  It's on my list of Top 10 Go-To Beers.  So I was so damn excited when I heard that they were opening a brewery in Philadelphia. And the visit stood up to my high expectations.  This was a great visit.

Of course, I had the IPA and a citrus IPA.  I had a delicious porter but I also had the Fulton Street Blend which was a blonde coffee Pale Ale (it's the beer on the right). The color was deceiving and the tastes were distinctive and refreshing. I brought a growler of this beer to my beer club and people struggled with identifying the taste. It was a big hit.
