Beer Birthday: Wil Turner

November 28, 2021 By Jay Brooks 1 Comment

open-outcry
Today is the 54th birthday of Wil Turner, brewer at Open Outcry Brewing, in Chicago. He’s also a former brewer at Revolution Brewing and Goose Island Brewery, but Wil’s originally from California — or at least that’s where I first met him — but moved to Chicago to brew at the Clybourn Goose Island brewpub, eventually moving to the production side. Since the sale of Goose Island, Wil moved back over to brewpub brewing at Revolution and more recently moved to brew at Open Outcry. Wil’s a great brewer, of course, and a terrific person for the industry, always a fun guy to drink with. Join me in wishing Wil a very happy birthday.

    Have had his brews @ GI; may he help Revolution revive – the brews I had there in Aug (after doing the Great Taste of the Midwest) weren’t as good as what I had there in 201o.
