Hong Kong's first Goose Island Taproom opens in Central
Chicago's legendary craft brewery Goose Island has landed in Hong Kong with its first Asian taproom. The craft beer pioneer, known for its award-winning IPAs, has set up shop on Lyndhurst Terrace in Central – and it's ready to pour some seriously good brews.
Bringing over a dozen of its best craft beers to Hong Kong, the taproom showcases Goose Island's most celebrated creations alongside monthly rotating specials.
Beer enthusiasts can savour the six-time Great American Beer Festival champion Goose IPA, or the newly crowned 2024 World Beer Awards China Gold winner Thirsty Goose lager.
Not sure what to try? Go for their Brewmaster's Choice Flight, offering 12 150ml pours of different house beers for $298.
Imbibers will also be able to enjoy some hearty American pub grub to go with their drinks. Think beer-battered fish and chips made with Goose 312 wheat ale, stacked burgers, and loaded nachos with a signature Goose IPA cheese sauce.
Fun fact: The brewery got its name from a little manmade island on the Chicago River, where legend has it that flocks of geese used to stop there during their migration flights.

Exhibition of prehistoric Giants to make UK debut
An exhibition of giant prehistoric animals will make its UK debut this year. Giants, developed by the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences and toured by Nomad Exhibitions, will open at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery on August 2. It will then move to the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh in January 2026. The exhibition focuses on creatures such as the woolly mammoth, which roamed the Earth after the extinction of the dinosaurs. Giants spans a period of 66 million years to the present day, and highlights the need to protect existing giant species such as elephants and whales. It features life-sized 3D models and nearly complete skeletons, including giant shark Otodus megalodon; the Mammuthus primigenius or woolly mammoth, which weighed between six and eight tonnes; and Gigantopithecus blacki, an Asian primate the size of three orangutans. Visitors of all ages are encouraged to step into the shoes of palaeontologists and biologists, using interactive resources and engaging with the scientific processes behind fossil discovery and reconstruction. PA Media A life-sized 3D model of a megalodon features in the exhibition (National Museums Scotland/PA). Immersive projections recreate the natural habitats of previous giant species, providing context to their existence and extinction. The exhibition also warns of the threat of extinction posed to elephants, rhinoceroses and whales and the 'urgent need' to protect endangered species. The announcement coincides with World Environment Day on Thursday, which this year is focused on ending plastic pollution. Zak Mensah and Sara Wajid, co-chief executives of Birmingham Museums Trust, said: 'We are delighted to welcome the Giants exhibition to Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery. 'This inspiring installation not only captures the imagination with its monumental scale but also delivers a vital message about sustainability and our shared responsibility to protect the planet. 'Birmingham Museums is committed to using storytelling to engage communities with the challenges of our time and Giants does exactly that in a powerful and accessible way.' Dr Nick Fraser, keeper of Natural Sciences at National Museums Scotland, said: 'We're really looking forward to bringing Giants to Scotland next year. 'Popular attention on prehistoric life tends to focus either on dinosaurs or on our own earliest human ancestors, which leaves a relatively neglected gap of around 60 million years of natural history. 'Giants is a striking invitation to us all to think about that period, to see how nature adapts over time, and also to reflect on the ways in which current human activity is denying that time to today's endangered giants.'
