Q: Will I need a vehicle to pick up my Prop Days allocation?
A: Yes, in order for us to safely and efficiently provide your allocation, we need you to be in a vehicle.
Back in 1992, Chicagoans were the first drinkers to give a dark, viscous, imperial stout aged, in Bourbon barrels, a try. With craft beer in its infancy, it was Chicagoans that welcomed this innovative, barrel-aged stout with open minds and eager palates. That stout, of course, was Bourbon County Brand Stout; the first beer to be aged in a Bourbon barrel. Traditionally, Bourbon County Stout is released only on Black Friday. But, as a thank you to our most loyal fans, we started Prop Day; a tradition that has given our most die hard fans a chance to get the first taste of all our upcoming variants as well as the opportunity to be the first to take home Proprietor’s Bourbon County Stout.
Beloved Beers • Devoted Fans • Curbside Pick-up
We still want to put our beloved beers in the hands of our most devoted fans, this year will be different. With everyone’s safety in mind, we are shifting to curbside pick-up only. Lottery winners will check in and pick up their allocation without leaving their vehicle. We will miss bringing everyone together outside of our brewery and can’t wait to raise a glass with you all again.
Winners will select one of the following dates and times for their curbside pick-up. First come, first serve; so, act fast before the timeslot fills up.
