MYSTERY JETS TO HEADLINE GOOSE ISLAND’S 312 DAY
US Craft Brewer, Goose Island, brings spirit of Chicago to East London

LONDON, (24 February, 2016) – Indie band Mystery Jets will headline Goose Island’s 312 Day event on 12 March as the Chicago brewer brings its iconic beer extravaganza to London for the first time.

Traditionally held on 12 March (3/12), the free event will bring the spirit of Chicago to Hoxton Docks, East London, giving beer lovers a night of live music, tasty food and the chance to try some of Goose Island’s great beers, including an introduction to Green Line Pale Ale.

Eel Pie Island-residents, Mystery Jets, will be headlining 312 Day, playing tracks from their recent album Curve of the Earth, including Telomere and Bombay Blue, whilst electronic rising star, Alex Vargas, will treat fans to a rendition of Giving Up The Ghost. There’ll also be a DJ set from Radio X’s Dan O’Connell.

Beer lovers will get a chance to try some of Goose Island’s best beers, including award-winning Goose IPA, Honkers Ale, 312 Urban Wheat Ale, plus Green Line Pale Ale, which has never been sold in the UK before. Green Line Pale Ale, an American Pale Ale, is part of Goose Island’s Green Line project, the company’s new sustainability initiative focused on measuring and minimizing Goose Island’s environmental footprint. Vintage Goose Island beers Sofie and Matilda will also be available to try.

Legendary street food truck Anna Mae’s Mac N’ Cheese will be providing gig-goers with her awesome mac n’ cheese, pairing each mac n’ cheese with one of Goose Island’s great beers.

312 Day, so called because of the Chicago dialing code (312), has been held on 12 March in Goose Island’s native Chicago for four years. The annual day of festivities celebrates Chicago urban culture and sees the popular brewer giving back to the local community through great Goose Island beer, live music and exciting collaborations.
