    Hong Kong’s first Goose Island Taproom opens in Central

    The revered Chicago-based craft brewery, Goose Island, has now opened its first taproom in Asia, specifically in Hong Kong. The establishment, located on Lyndhurst Terrace in Central, is all set to delight patrons with its exceptional beer offerings.

    Goose Island, a pioneer in the craft beer industry, and renowned for its multiple award-winning IPAs, has transported over a dozen of its top-grade craft beers to Asia. The taproom will feature the brewery’s renowned beers as well as a monthly rotation of unique specials.

    Celebrated Beers and Food Offerings

    Beer connoisseurs will get to savor the Goose IPA, a champion of the Great American Beer Festival on six occasions. In addition, they can also taste the newly crowned Thirsty Goose lager, a recipient of the 2024 World Beer Awards China Gold.

    For those undecided on what to sample first, Goose Island offers the Brewmaster’s Choice Flight. This selection includes twelve 150ml pours of various house beers for $298.

    In addition to its fine beers, the taproom also offers a menu of robust American pub cuisine to pair with the drinks. Patrons can indulge in beer-battered fish and chips made with Goose 312 wheat ale, mouth-watering burgers, and loaded nachos served with a signature Goose IPA cheese sauce.

    James Reyne sings praises of new Coopers Australian IPA

    Brewer Coopers has rolled out a limited release Australian IPA in kegs and 375ml can format, backed by a marketing campaign fronted by legendary Australian singer James Reyne.

    Coopers Australian IPA is made with local hops with citrus notes such as mandarin and orange as well as piney and passionfruit characteristics, according to the brewer. It has an ABV of 6.5 percent and a bitterness level of 40 IBU.

    “We’ve come up with a great-tasting Australian IPA that will suit any occasion,” said Coopers MD and chief brewer, Dr Tim Cooper. “We’re very mindful about when to bring out a new beer and an enormous amount of time goes into getting it right.”

    The campaign featuring Reyne was filmed at the Silverton Hotel in Broken Hill. The singer will also perform at several trade events in April.

    Reyne previously participated in the Coopers Live, Loud and Local series which was launched last year to support pubs and musicians recovering from the Covid-19 shutdowns.

    Coopers Australian IPA will be sold at bottle shops from late April.
