According to a recently-published report in the Shanghai-based English-language lifestyle publication CityWeekend, Goose<\/strong> Island<\/strong> is planning to open a brewpub in a new complex in central Shanghai.<\/p>\n

From their story<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“The biggest news we\u2019ve landed is that\u00a0Goose Island<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0will be opening their own brewhouse at the end of 2016,\u00a0housed in a two-story 1,200sqm space\u00a0located in new development\u00a0Fengsheng Li<\/strong>\u00a0on Maoming Bei Lu and Nanjing Xi Lu.\u00a0Goose Island beer will be brewed on site and they’ll introduce a\u00a0barrel aging program.\u00a0In addition to select craft brews,\u00a0a dedicated chef will be\u00a0presenting a menu of dry aged steaks, grilled in an imported Josper oven from Spain, along with\u00a0pickled items and cold cuts.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Also apparently opening in the same complex: A White Castle outlet, “a couple doors down from the Goose Island brewhouse.” (Honkers Ale and sliders probably pair fairly well together, actually.)<\/p>\n

We reached out to Goose Island to confirm or deny the report, and their response was decidedly non-committal, with a representative simply telling us that\u00a0“unfortunately there’s nothing to share at this time.”<\/p>\n

Even prior to this report, Goose has been making strong recent inroads to Shanghai — their Migration team spent two weeks in China this year<\/a>, spending a week in Shanghai before moving on to Beijing with a pop-up bar<\/a>, beer dinners and tasting events in both cities, along with Goose Island Block Parties. Goose also recently made<\/a> the 2015 version of Bourbon County Stout available in China as well.<\/p>\n
