Goose Island Beer Company is making its way across the border, joining forces with Bier Markt, to open Canada's first Goose Island Brewhouse.
dailyhive.comGoose Island Brewhouse in Toronto has largely shifted from a live restaurant and brewery project to closure discussions, with sources indicating the Toronto location announced closure at the end of 2024 or 2025, ending on December 31 in that period. Since then, coverage has noted that Goose Island would continue its beer production for the Canadian market even after the restaurant closed [source coverage around late 2024–2025].
Latest snapshot:
- Closure: Goose Island Brewhouse Toronto reportedly announced closure of the restaurant space, with an explicit note that while the restaurant doors will close, Goose Island’s beer production for Canada would continue [latest closure posts from late 2025].
- Aftermath: The Esplanade location had been a joint venture with Bier Markt, featuring Goose Island's beers and a Toronto-specific Brewhouse experience; post-closure, the brand’s Canadian distribution persists, but the on-site dining option is no longer available [Toronto trade and local beer coverage from 2017–2025].
