Guess what? The local craft beer scene just got a whole lot frothier. Goose Island, the award-winning brewery that’s been flying the flag for craft beer since 1988, has officially landed in Hong Kong with its first Goose Island Taproom.

Packed with personality and pouring over a dozen inventive brews, the new taproom brings buzzy beer culture straight into the heart of Central, on Lyndhurst Terrace.

Founded in Chicago, Goose Island has grown from a humble brewpub into a global pioneer of the IPA category.

With a mission to brew great beer and have fun doing it, their motto says it all: “We don’t need to be the only beer you drink, we just want to be the best beer you drink.”

At the Lyndhurst outpost, expect a fresh lineup of craft creations every month. Highlights on tap include the multi-award-winning Goose IPA, famous for its hoppy aroma and citrus zing, and Thirsty Goose, a lager/hoppy pilsener that clinched gold at the 2024 World Beer Awards China.

You can also try their tropical Head in Clouds Triple Hazy IPA, the crisp and classic The Great Goose, or the creamy, fruity Gossip in Hops Milkshake IPA. Each Goose Island Taproom Selected House Beer is priced at HK$78.

To experience all the flavors at once, opt for their BrewMaster's Choice: Beer Flight, which includes their Beer of the Month plus a selection of 11 distinct House Beers, for just HK$298.

Need something to soak it all up? The food menu doesn’t disappoint. Share a plate of GOOSE LOADED NACHOS (veg-friendly option available) for HK$118, dig into the Brewmaster Classic Cheeseburger at HK$148, or go traditional with Goose Cod Fish N Chips for HK$158.
