Goose Island Releasing Chance The Rapper Collaboration “No Collar” @ Pitchfork Fest

For the third year in a row, Goose will debut a beer at Pitchfork Fest (July 17-19) made in collaboration with one of the performing artists — this time with Sunday’s headliner, Chance the Rapper. The beer is a 5.3 percent Helles-style lager called No Collar.

Though Chance never visited the brewery to work on the beer, Goose said its brewmaster, Jared Jankowski, consulted with the Chicago-born rapper on the phone to discuss the approach. Chance’s wish, the brewery said, was to create a beer "for the hardworking people of Chicago … exactly what you want to drink after a long day of work."
