Damn good actually.
Should be a solid summer spring beer.

I recommend.

I had it for the first time tonight as well. I thought it was pretty awesome. I'll definitely have it again.

For me, it was pretty off putting.

I have enjoyed their honkers ale a time or two.

I'm pretty sure they consider Honker's their summer beer and 312 is a year around. Used to haul both of them back, so glad they have made it to Louisina. Wonder if we will get some of their more elite numbers?

Hopefully but I doubt it will happen anytime soon.

Wait, when did this happen? I haven't seen Goose Island in LA yet except for what I personally import.

Maybe a year ago. Most has been on tap, but I started to see bottles at Rouses recently.

I've seen some Goose Island stuff up here the last month or so. I wasn't sure if it was a another covert BMC horse urine craft beer cover up or a legit craft beer company. Now that I know it's the latter I'll make a point to steer clear.

The 312 pretty much sucks, you're not missing out on anything.

Degas-I was carrying it in too. I'm sure that it is because of their purchase by AB, but supposedly, AB is letting the same brewers produce Goose Island, even though they closed their Chicago brewery last year. It showed up at Calandro's, Matherne's and a few others spots in the past few weeks. Really nice to see more and more options to choose from in what was a beer wasteland in year's past.

It's spreading across shreveport pretty well. I like the 312 but the IPA is my favorite. The summertime kolsch is pretty good as well.

I went to their brewpub in Chicago in October and had no idea they were bought out. They had over 30 of their beers available on tap and it looked like a local operation in the back of the place.

not sure if Ryno is trolling or not, but I feel the same way he does about Goose. It's now an AB product and will become more of one as time passes.

I wasn't impressed with the 312. Kinda fell flat for me. I had the Honkers Ale and IPA when I was in St Louis and they were good.
