Goose Island Beer Company, 1800 W Fulton St, Chicago, IL 60612 is a great brewery and will not disappoint you at all with their selection of standard as well as more specialized seasonal releases.

Awesome tour! It was very interesting to get behind the scenes and see how beer is made. Our guide was extremely nice and very knowledgeable. You get to try 3 different beers and take a home a Goose Island glass with ticket price. It is definitely worth visiting!

We had so much fun at this place. We drove in from the twin cities and had a flight. Couldn't resist a bottle of 2012 cellared bourbon county. The next day we came back for the tour. Ciara was an excellent guide. Started us off with a green line sample and we finished with Halia and sofie. All beers I wouldn't have normally tried. Tour was fast paced and informative We finished our time with a couple more samples. The Hazy Dolores needs to be bottled! It's amazing! Took home a few four packs and bottles. Thank you for the amazing experience!

The staff is the most friendly group of people I have ever met. We are in town from pennsylvania and we were treated like we have been from Chicago our whole life. The tour was awesome and very informative. Rob answered each and every question we had and just talked with us. Aaron was a very cool guide and had alot of fun. Awesome place.

Proud of this hometown brewery but have never had a beer of theirs I enjoyed. Today I got my hands on their celebrated annual bourbon barrel aged stout, and couldn't be more disappointed. It's absolute sludge--a mixture of stale chocolate and motor oil with almost no carbonation. And as far as the restaurant goes, been there a few times...spotty service and uninspired menu. Really surprised they've lasted this long.

You can expect friendly, attentive service and a variety of beers to try (draft, cans, and bottles)! It was fun to learn about the history or train behind the names of their beers (a lot of female names).

The tasting room is also decorated with Chicago- related art pieces that really compliment the vibe of the brewery. Overall a very enjoyable experience and will be back!

Great beer selection. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Nice to be able to try out a few Bourbon County variants from the cellar. My only gripe is the prices they re charging are higher than secondary prices. If you show up at the right time you can catch some awesome beers on tap also. Got a pour of 2015 Rare and it was delicious. Definitely worth a visit.

Always an amazing time very knowledgeable and very friendly staff and very happy that we can come down and enjoy bottles that surely should not exist anymore

Oh yeah. It's the place where dreams come true.

Maybe this is heaven.

The beer is great but the interior is somewhat lackluster. Granted I didn't take the tour, but I assume it is much the same as all other brewery tours, but it did seem to come with a pint glass. Stop by if you are walking past, but not really a destination.

The brewery is very good with a wide range of selections for the beers. The tour is highly recommended as they give you a history of the company, talk about the ingredients and the source of it. The tour guide (Megan) and everyone else who worked there looked passionate about their work. You get to taste different beers on the tour and we got a souvenir at the end of the tour which made the experience even better. Will definitely recommend this place to my friends and will come back soon.

One of the best breweries in Chicago with a variety of beers for all drinkers, including ciders on tap. Located near CTA Green line and variety of bus lines with an abundance of street parking. Taproom is cozy so get their early if you want a table and can BYOF since they do not have a kitchen at this location. Great vintage list especially if you are Bourbon County Stout fan

Love the bartenders and the guy who does it all, can't remember his name but I'm sure you'll see him at the door, behind the bar, giving guests advise on which beer meets their needs and much more. Greatest beer selection in town.

Goose island's hour long beer tour was well worth the $12. Our tour guide Marquis was friendly, outgoing and intelligent. He had us try a few different types of beer along the tour and he taught us about the beer making process. The taproom beer was great and the staff were kind. I would absolutely go back!

Did the tour as well as had a couple cold ones in taproom. The tour was fantastic. A great look at behind the scenes plus got to sample some beers along the way. The tour guides we're fantastic, especially Johnny!!! He was very knowledgeable and had great answers to all questions!! Taproom was fun. Great atmosphere, alot of drafts u can't find in stores. If you are a Goose Island fan, this place is a must!!!

I made an online reservation and joined the tour.

I made an online reservation and joined the tour.
It was a cold day when a snowstorm warning came out of the season, but the shop was full of young people.
The tour is not a type that walks around the factory, but a style where you can listen to stories while tasting at two places. There are three types of tastings in total.
The elder sister in charge of the explanation also drinks by himself (laugh)
Finally, you will receive a beer tumbler different from the tasting glass as a souvenir.
I enjoyed it even if I do not understand English.

Beau Forbes did a fantastic job of making the tour informative and interesting. The Goose Island heritage, although not that long, is nothing short of a fantastic story of business accomplishment. Beau conveyed the rich, young heritage with solid humor and highly technical professional intellect. I would recommend this tour to anyone. Many thanks.

Great tour and great beers. Very knowledgeable tour guide. Amazing beers, many of which are tap exclusives. Crazy busy on our visit, but the staff was extremely hardworking and patient.

Giving you five stars for creativity even though I don't agree with you. Fans don't get paid millions every year to be able to do the same thing as the athletes on the field. Anyhoo, I bet your beer is delicious and I'd love to try it some day.

Incredible tour! Staff goes above and beyond to give you a personalized experience inside of the brewery. You ll learn about the brewing process, the stories behind the beer names and the brewers who make them! Got to sample three delicious beers. Highly recommend!

Fun tour that includes tastings along the way. Our guide, Eric, was funny and informative. The Boubon Barrel Stout is awesome is one of my favorite beers ever! We live in Chicago, and woud reccomend the tour and taproom to locals and tourists alike.

The taproom here is amazing and the staff is super friendly. The tour is the best I've ever been on! You get to go through the entire brewery and barrel warehouse during production hours. They also have one of a kind beers you can only get there as well. Street parking is easy too.

I'd go four stars, but it seems like every time I'm here I run into brewers and other Goose Island folks and good conversation and often great times ensue. A well done tap room that I think will get even better as age helps break it in. If you're in the area pop in, grab a beer, and chat up your neighbor. And if you're lucky enough to be served by the excellent bartender Krystal, tell her I say hello.

The tour is very interesting, you get samples of different beers and an explanation of how they are made. Make your reservation online, the system is very easy to use, you should arrive 15 minutes before the start of your tour. The merchandise available for purchase is high quality and not too pricey.

Cool space for the tap room, although as it is in an industrial area, not a lot going on around there. Nice selection of regular Goose Island beers and a handful that are produced on site that you cannot get anywhere else. No food, but they are cool with ordering in. Definitely will go back.

The staff is super nice and very knowledge about their product. Sampled a ton of their beers which were free so that was great. The brewery itself so so laid back. Me and my friends had a great time. Out of the four breweries I went to I thought their beer tasted the freshest. Can't wait to visit you guys soon. Thanks!

The staff here is top notch. They care about the beer they serve and are super friendly. There's a diverse selection of stuff you can't find elsewhere and they'll help you find something you love. It seems like they're non-stop doing amazing fun events.

Did a guided tour ($ 12)
You get 3 small drinks during a guide and a cup afterwards.
Very cool experience with great taste of the decent beer. We can learn from the history and making process, etc.

It is a good tour, and it seems that it is possible to go to the rain in time. Goose Island has a brewery in Korea, too, but its first start is in Chicago!

The brewery tour was informative and entertaining. Out tour guide was awesome and so was the beer! Well worth the minimal cost of the tour. I highly recommend it. But even if you just hang out for a drink, the bar is a great atmosphere.

10/10 would come again. This was an awesome experience! Our tour guide Eric was awesome! He was extremely funny, but also passionate about sharing his knowledge of the brewery and the process with us.
