Goose Island Beer Co., a craft brewer owned by a beer behemoth that's behind cult favorite Bourbon County Brand Stout, is popping the top on its first national advertising campaign.
It's an appropriate time for the Chicago-based brewery, an independent purchased by Anheuser-Busch InBev in 2011, as Goose Island beers became available in all 50 states just last year.
With interest in ��and sales of ��craft beer on the rise, Goose Island and parent AB InBev figured it was time to formally introduce the brand to consumers.
In addition to a new one-minute video ad that will be found beginning todayon food, travel and music websites, Goose Island will place full and double-page advertisements in upcoming consumer-focused magazines.(Some have already run in Draft and Beer Advocate magazines.)
