Opened in 1995, the Goose Island Fulton Street Brewery occupies over 37,000 square feet. Inside, stainless steel kettles and fermenting tanks dwarf the team of brewers who oversee the production of twelve different varieties of Goose Island beer and two craft sodas. Brewmaster Greg Hall (Founder John Hall’s son) leads the brewing team, all of whom attended the prestigious United States Brewers Academy at the Siebel Institute of Technology in Chicago. The team precisely combines the traditional ingredients of malted barley, hops, yeast and water to create its award winning ales. Adjacent to the brewhouse, the state of the art, high speed bottling line fills ten cases (240 bottles) per minute with such celebrated beers as Hex Nut Brown Ale, and Wolaver’s Pale Ale. Because no preservatives are used in the process and the beer is not pasteurized, Goose Island puts a freshness date on all of its products.
