Oktoberfest at the Goose Island Salt Shed Pub

We get it—you’d rather be in Munich. Same. But Brewer Mike’s got you covered with a Festbier that brings Oktoberfest to Chicago.

Join us at the Goose Island Salt Shed Pub on Saturday, September 26 at 11AM. Snag a limited-edition boot and dig into German-inspired fare.

An ode to the tradition, right here at home. Prost!
