The Chicago Mag has this tidbit:
You’ve probably heard by now that the original Goose Island Brewpub (1800 N. Clybourn Ave.; 312-915-0071) lost its lease and will close by year’s end. “We saw it coming and tried to negotiate something and we weren’t successful,” says John Hall, the founder. “But it’s not the final story. We are close to [securing another space] but nothing we can announce right now. And we are going to celebrate until we close. We’ve made a lot of beers over the years and we’ve had a lot of great brewers that have gone on to bigger and better things. We’ll have some of them come back. There are a lot great chefs in Chicago that we’ll have come in.”I hope they work something out, because I like the Goose Island Brewpub. Don't go as often as I like, but I like having the option to go, if opportunity presents itself.
