Goose Island Having Draft Line Issues?

Posted by in Other Oddities on September 28, 2010 9:21 am / 1 comment

I have heard from several people in the last few weeks that some beers at Goose Island’s Clybourn location have issues.  One friend even sent her beer back.  The most offensive from what I gathered is the Harvest Ale.  Since I once fancied myself as an investigator I had a comparison done with the bottle version.  I asked people who had problems to have a bottle purchased in stores.  No Issues.

So is Goose not cleaning their lines or are we back to the Matilda quality control issue?  Another possibility could be that Jared Rouben is brewing a completely separate version for the pub.  Either way this is the second time this year I have come across a significant problem.
