Goose Island to close Clybourn pub
The Chicago Tribune reports that Goose Island Beer Co. will close its original brewpub at 1800 N. Clybourn St. will close at the end of the year due to the firm’s inability to renew its lease. The brewpub began operations in 1988, with a separate production brewpub following in 1995.
The company announced it Wrigleyville Brewpub at 3535 N. Clark St. will remain open, as well as its Fulton Street Brewery at 1800 W. Fullton St.
There’s been discussion among Chicago beer enthusiasts that the Clybourn location may be saved.

I can’t tell you how many times that I’ve seen successful business driven out because the owners failed to renew a lease. If they can’t resolve it, I wish them the best. Hopefully a new location will bring about even more business and success.
