About This Beer
Goose Island Midway Session IPA PerfectDraft Keg captures the bold, American spirit of Goose Island Brewing Co., one of the pioneers of the global craft beer movement. Inspired by Chicago’s vibrant Midway neighbourhood, this session IPA is crafted to be approachable, aromatic, and bursting with hop character while maintaining remarkable balance and drinkability.
Midway uses a blend of American hops that lend tropical fruit and citrus notes without overpowering bitterness. The malt base provides a soft sweetness that rounds off the beer beautifully, making it a go-to option for any occasion. Whether you’re relaxing after work or hosting friends, this is the kind of beer that fits effortlessly into your fridge and your plans.
With the PerfectDraft system, every pint of Midway is perfectly carbonated, cooled, and served at the ideal temperature. The format ensures the freshness of draught beer without the need to visit the pub — making it perfect for fans of craft beer Ireland who value quality and convenience.

About the Brewery
Founded in 1988, Goose Island Brewing Co. helped define modern American craft beer. Based in Chicago, Illinois, it quickly became known for innovation, quality, and consistency — from hop-forward pale ales to barrel-aged masterpieces. Goose Island was one of the first U.S. breweries to introduce the IPA style to a wider audience, and its legacy continues through favourites like Goose IPA and Midway Session IPA.
While now an internationally recognised name, Goose Island maintains its dedication to brewing excellence, combining traditional techniques with contemporary flair. Each beer reflects the brewery’s commitment to creativity and quality — values that resonate with craft beer drinkers across the globe.
Food Pairings
Midway Session IPA is a versatile pairing companion. Its bright hop character complements spicy dishes such as tacos, curries, or buffalo wings, while its crisp finish pairs beautifully with grilled fish, burgers, and pizza. The beer’s subtle malt sweetness also enhances lighter fare like chicken Caesar salad or citrus-dressed prawns. For something sweet, try it with lemon tart or fruit crumble for a balanced contrast.
