The Quiz: Which beer brand was named after a Chicago neighborhood?
Goose Island
Blue Point
Golden Road
Devils Backbone
When non-Chicagoans hear the term “Goose Island,” they probably first think of the craft beer brand now owned by Anheuser-Busch. However, before it became associated with alcohol, Goose Island was best known as a Chicago neighborhood. Surrounded by the North Branch of the Chicago River, Goose Island is an artificial island that was built during the construction of the North Branch Canal. A historically industrial neighborhood, Goose Island’s name was borrowed by the beer company when it was founded in 1988.
The correct answer to this quiz is Goose Island.
