New brews coming out include a riff on last year&#8217;s Endless Summer that&#8217;ll just be named the Summer Ale this year, and Nut Brown is likely to return as a seasonal offering. They also had two kinds of radler on hand for tasting, and if you&#8217;re into cucumber flavors then you&#8217;re in luck &#8212; we&#8217;ll stick to grapefruit mixes, thank you very much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the whole, it&#8217;s another way to get up close and personal with your beer and the people who make it, which is never a bad thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Arguably, that should benefit Goose Island more than any other brewery in recent memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Goose-Taproom-Preview-34.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18018\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Goose-Taproom-Preview-34.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Goose-Taproom-Preview-34-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Goose-Taproom-Preview-34-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a long time coming, and the new Goose Island Fulton taproom is almost ready for prime time.
