Unique liquor license in Chicago neighborhood would forbid sales of non-craft beer like Goose Island
The owner of Garden Gourmet Market, 1130 N. Ashland, said he’s considering the deal that would allow him to sell only craft beers and higher-end wines. The agreement, fashioned by grocer Maher Farhan and Ald. Joe Moreno (1st), would allow Farhan to sell alcohol in a neighborhood that is mostly dry. The restrictions are designed to ease fears by neighbors that the market could create alcohol-related problems.
Goose Island is an example of a brewery whose beers would be prohibited from the shop as the license only allows beer sales of craft brewers as defined by The Brewers Association.
