First Look at the New Goose Island Brewhouse Shanghai

2017-01-13 ShanghaiWOWeng




It doesn’t officially open until mid February BUT, the interior is finished. Here’s a first look at the inside of the new, enormous Goose Island Brewhouse in Jing’an!

 




Their new space is 1200 square meters spread throughout two gorgeously decorated floors, the first is a beer hall with a lounge and the second floor a sit-down dining space, which also has an open, birds-eye view of the downstairs. 

 


 

It’s quite clear that a ton of work went into the design and décor, they’ve got a beautiful long bar with signature goose taps and the beer making equipment shimmering behind. All in all they’ve got 40 taps, featuring 15+ beers: their 4 core brews and a variety of seasonal and specialty brews (all Goose Island of course). Specialty beers include their exquisitely crafted Barrel aged Bourbon County Stout and Sour Sisters. They also have Goose Island growlers, which you can get filled and take back to your home (the beer will stay perfectly fresh inside for up to 48 hours).

 



 

The man behind the beer here is Fraser Kennedy, a New Zealand Brew master who spent 4 years at Dr. Beer before moving on to join the Goose Island Shanghai team. 




There’s plenty to be excited about aside from the beer. Spanish Chef Gabriel Rodriguez, who most recently helped launch RAW, has put together a special menu from their ‘urban craft kitchen’ with a focus on homemade, including cold cuts, sauces and dry-aging their own beef. Foodies will be pleased to hear they’ll also have an imported Josper oven from Spain - one of only a handful in Asia.




The Shikumen-style building will be among many other big projects in the newly-built Fengsheng li area, which is right beside the West Nanjing metro station. Fengsheng li will also be home to the new Hard Rock Café, which will also open in February.




Goose Island was founded in Chicago in 1988, and has been one of the most successful craft breweries in the US since then. That success has no doubt come from their intense focus on “quality, innovation and community.” This will be their first permanent space in China. They recently opened a Goose Island Brewhouse in Seoul, Korea as well as Sao Paulo, Brazil. There aren’t any concrete plans for Asian expansion, but it’s a safe bet the Shanghai space will be the beginning of a long journey here.
