Episode 312 - Goose Diaspora

The complex story of Goose Island extends far beyond their innovations and acquisition, because throughout their history, they've cultivated a truly impressive brewing team. This appropriately-numbered episode is a tribute to all the brewers who developed under Goose's tutelage and moved on to start or brew at other impactful breweries. (Somebody should write a book about this stuff.) It's a Goose Island show with no Goose Island beer! Craig tries to get a gritty reboot going that results in an ongoing discussion of grizzled actors, Ryan discovers the secret SRM scale, and we scream out the subtext. Come to Beermiscuous on Saturday, February 8th because we told you to!
