Infamy!

Goose Island, the Chicago microbrewery whose beers have deservedly grown in popularity to the point where it is becoming a national brand, has been sold to Anheuser-Busch.

According to Goose Island, the reason for the sale was that demand for its beer vastly exceeds its capacity to produce and market  it. As a national brewer, Busch already has that capacity.

Links to Harry Carey aside, Anheuser- Busch is best known for its connection to the evil St. Louis Cardinals, the Cubs' arch-rival in the National League Central.

The CEO of the St. Louis-based brewer says that every effort will be made to build a brewery in Chicago.

Sometime in the future.
