OK; for realsies this time. Tap 42 in Fort Lauderdale will host a launch party this week celebrating Goose Island's long-awaited release in Florida. Their Goose Island tap takeover starts at 7 p.m. Tuesday with Goose Island IPA, Honker's Ale, 312 Urban Wheat, and Mild Winter on tap. The event was originally scheduled for last week, but had to be postponed due to an issue with distribution. The taps will start flowing promptly at 7 p.m., so be on time for this one.
