The story behind it

The maker

Goose Island Brewery was founded in Chicago in 1988 by John Hall, who was inspired by the diverse beer styles of Europe. It grew from a single pioneering brewpub into a historic craft powerhouse renowned for pushing the boundaries of hop profiles and barrel-aging.

How it is made

Brewed in Chicago by Goose Island, this Imperial IPA is crafted to deliver intense tropical fruit flavors alongside a robust hop backbone. The brewhouse utilizes advanced dry-hopping techniques to maximize the aromatic fruit impact without adding cloying sweetness.
