Jared Rouben, the pub brewmaster of Goose Island Clybourn, will be leaving this month to launch his own food-focused brewery.
Speaking with the Chicago Tribune, Rouben said he hopes to start producing his own beers by the end of 2013. His yet-to-be-named brewery will feature a taproom to showcase his food-focused brews.
“The goal is to find the best ingredients and create beers with layers of flavor,” said Rouben. “I can’t emphasize layers of flavor enough.”
