    We are two months out but I figured I'd go ahead and post this since we had A LOT of out of towners last year that made the trip.

    Kahn's Fine Wines is having another big Black Friday Goose Island Bourbon County release!

    We will be releasing Bourbon County, Bourbon County Barleywine, Bourbon County Coffee, and Bourbon County Vanilla Rye.

    We will have a Goose Island representative pouring samples of each of the new Bourbon County arrivals until sample bottles run out.

    We will be doing two allocations per person. One allocation is one large format bottle or two 12oz bottles. Last year we had enough product to make sure that roughly 125 people received two allocations. (We will announce how many allocations will be available once we get closer to the event)

    Numbers will be handed out to people before the store opens. Beginning at 9:30am customers will be called up by their number one by one until we run out of allocations to allow customers to sample the new arrivals.

    We open at 9am but you are more than welcome to arrive as early as you like. A food truck will be servicing attendees who arrive early from 7-10am. Last year we had 100 people waiting outside the store before we opened. The first customers arrived before 5am. There were about 40 people in line by 7am. Needless to say a bottle share broke out :slight_smile:

    If you have any questions feel free to email me at [email protected]

    As always, thank you for the support guys!

    I think I might go this route instead of Chicago.

    Heh yeah I'll be in Bloomington, so a trip up to Indy might be a lot more manageable than a trip to Chicago.

    Sweet, you all are lucky to be able to do a share while waiting. Here, you'd get busted. Sounds like a great time.

    This was a lot of fun last year. Got there at a decent time, lots of great bottles shared, and was in and out. Will be there again.

    On non business days there is a lot behind the store off of what I believe is Tacoma. I highly doubt those businesses will be open the day after Thanksgiving.

    Great event last year, despite the freezing cold. Sad I moved away, but I'll try to make it from my parent's again. Keep up the good work Al.

    Regular Bourbon County doesn't count against allocations. You'll still be allowed two allocations of Coffee, Barleywine, or Vanilla.

    AND there might just be four year vertical four packs as well...

    Oooooh. Last year someone in front of me opened a 2007 BCBS and that made me decide to start keeping a few extra around.
