Low Risk

Inspectors have visited Goose Island Brewing Co 16 times, with records going back to 2010. The newest entry in the record is dated Apr 7, 2016. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer. The most recent inspection at Goose Island Brewing Co is from Apr 7, 2016, and nothing newer appears in the public record.

Performance has remained roughly level over recent inspections, averaging near seven violations each time.

When inspectors have written things up, “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed” has been the most frequent reason, cited 13 times.

That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Chicago restaurants. Taken together, the history is a positive one.
