7/27/2010: I remember reading somewhere that this beer is being retired by Goose Island. Sad because before I even knew much about craft beer, this was one beer that I could easily recognize. I guess with the big beer fad going on lately they decided to focus on higher ABV beers.
Goose Island Nut Brown has a nice toasty smell, with some brown sugar in the mix. The flavor is really good; nutty, caramel, roasty, and I am even getting a little bit of chocolate in the finish. Very drinkable. Average mouthfeel and carbonation for the style, although admittedly I could never pick out the difference between an English/American Brown Ale as far as styles go.
Picture of the day: This chick needs a reality check.
The name's Drew. Just a normal 32 yr old guy from Pittsburgh with an abnormal obsession for craft beer, web design and photography. I run my own web design business over at 
365 days... 365 beers 
I’ve never been fully comfortable with the naming of this particular style.
Good luck on all the beers, you’re doing a great job!
Thanks Chuwy! Its getting tough keeping this all up to date but its been a fun journey so far.
One of my favorites, I am also sad to hear it go. I did call and talk to someone about it, it will still be on tap in their pub from time to time.
Thats good news that they are at least still going to brew it in some capacity. Thanks for the info!
