Goose Island, Naperville and all that
Anthony Thompson <thompson@...>
Sad news this AM in the business world: Goose Island Brewing has been sold to Anheuser-Busch, which in turn is now owned by Belgium's massive InBev concern.
Then again, we aren't meeting in Naperville this fall anyway . . . but Goose Island is an institution in the Chicago area, so we can only hope InBev has the sense to leave Goose Island's brewing formulas alone. Yeah, I know, if wishes were horses . . .
