Citing Coronaviris, Chicago-based brewery Goose Island has closed their brewpub in the Fishtown neighborhood of Philadelphia.
Opened first in 2018 in Fishtown at 1002 Canal Street, the 10,500 sq. ft. brewpub was located across from the Fillmore, one of Philadelphia’s large music venues. The brewpub featured 28 draft lines and a full kitchen.
The announcement reads:
To our Philadelphia friends and neighbors,
As a direct result of the global health crisis, and the significant impact COVID-19 has had on our business in Philadelphia, we have had to make the difficult decision to close the Goose Island Philadelphia Brewhouse effective today. Over the past several months, the Goose Island team in Philadelphia has shown incredible resilience in the face of tough challenges. We are grateful for each employees’ contribution to making the Philly Brewhouse a true extension of Goose Island.
Philadelphia and its beer lovers will continue to be very important to Goose Island. Philadelphia has been our second home and we are so appreciative to the city for visiting, sharing beers with us, and allowing us to be part of your hometown. Here’s to you, Philly.
