  • HOW ARE QUANTITIES LOOKING THIS YEAR?
    Much to our dismay, and in full transparency, NOT GOOD. Inventory has been slashed. We urge you to pre-order. Given limited quantities, we will NOT be offering the Bardstown bottle for online sale. More info below concerning our Bardstown raffle. Please note that BCBS Proprietor's, as always, will ONLY be available in Chicago. BCBS Rare Day will only be available at the two Goose Island Tap Rooms also in Chicago.

  • HOW CAN I PURCHASE THE BARDSTOWN CASK FINISH BOTTLE?
    Given our exceptionally limited quantity of this particular variant, we've decided that the only fair way to sell these few bottles is via an onsite, in person, raffle. Any Black Friday BCBS purchasing customer (bottles, draft or tasting) on site between Noon and 3pm will be given a raffle ticket. A winning ticket entitles customer an option to purchase 1 Bardstown bottle. Tickets will be drawn at 3:30. Ted will text lucky winners. Winners will have until Monday at Noon to return text to indicate their intention to purchase a bottle.

  • CAN I PURCHASE BEERS ON SITE ON BLACK FRIDAY?  
    Onsite Black Friday bottle sales will be based on available inventory ONLY. Customers are encouraged to preorder.

  • WHERE DOES ALL THE ACTION TAKE PLACE? 
    ALL Black Friday events will take place at Top Hops at the Essex Market.

  • SCOOP IF I OPT FOR PICKUP?  
    Pickups for your Black Friday order will only be available at the Essex Market on Black Friday and through Turkey Weekend ONLY. Pickup hours are 1 to 4 on Black Friday (at the mezzanine level Essex Market Kitchen) and Noon to 5 on Saturday and Sunday (at our main floor Top Hops stall).

  • SCOOP IF I OPT FOR SHIPMENT? 
    Online shipments will go out in the order in which they are received. Shipments will commence Monday 12/2. Please allow up to a week for UPS ground shipment.
