Rising rents have forced the 20 year old original home of Goose Island, a brew pub in Clybourn, to close its doors – and while I hate to kick a microbrew while it's down, I have to include their product on this list.
I seem to always wind up with Goose Island IPA at events where the beer is free, and it's always so undrinkable that I just go without. It randomly winds up on the shelves of my fridge after parties; untouched next to the pre-mixed Bacardi Mojitos, which didn't make this list simply because I still haven't been able to bring myself to try one.
But I do love Chicago and I feel their pain, so I'll be mercifully brief and end this now.
But what do you think?
