Las Vegas is one of 32 markets Goose Island will visit in 2014 spreading its Chicago culture and craft beer success story thanks to exclusive hop farms, sour beers, barrel-age brewing and so much more.
New beers from Goose Island are also available in the Las Vegas area including –
Endless India Pale Ale (IPA), the second of three beers in its Limited Release Series. This beer hit shelves on April 7 and as a “session” IPA, Endless was named for its incredible drinkability. e initial exotic scent of Amarillo hops hints the beer will be exceedingly bitter, but the beer’s taste is nicely balanced with malt sweetness and a mild bitterness that invites the drinker to take another sip. Endless IPA is a perfect summer beer that glows in the glass and quenches thirst.
Madame Rose will be arriving in the area starting May 12. This is a Belgian style sour ale harkening back to the famed Oude Bruins of western Flanders. Fermented with wild yeast then aged on sour Michigan cherries in wine barrels for almost two years, she pours a deep mahogany red and smells of brandied cherries, worn leather, and wet wood.
