Goose Island Excludes Notable Journalist from Bourbon County Stout Preview
In a surprising move, Goose Island has opted not to extend an invitation to Josh Noel of the Chicago Tribune for this year’s highly anticipated Bourbon County Stout media preview. Noel, who has been a vital voice covering the brewery for the past decade and is the author of a detailed book on Goose Island and its parent company, AB-InBev, is notably absent from the event.
This decision raises questions about the brewery’s relationship with the media and how it engages with those who have documented its journey over the years. As Goose Island prepares for the preview, fans and industry insiders alike are left to wonder how this exclusion might shape the narrative surrounding one of the most celebrated stouts in the craft beer world.
Stay tuned for more updates as we delve into the implications of this decision and explore the landscape of craft brewing media relations.
