Goose Island Black Friday: Indianapolis

[CWblues]

The fiancee just informed me we'll be in Chicago-land with my future in-laws for Thanksgiving....Time to decide how badly I really want this marriage thing to work out.

Now is the time to make a stand, man. Set the tone and keep your pimp hand forever strong.

Just tell her you want to go out Friday morning and pick up some Christmas stuff without her. Problem solved.

UPDATE:

The event will begin at open at 9am and will go roughly until 11am.

Sara Cleary, Goose Island Vintage Market Development Manager, will be pouring samples of some of the limited offerings (I don't know exactly which beers yet).

We are going to do a "two allocation" per person limit. This does not include regular Bourbon County, Juliet, or Lolita. Those items will be fair game, first come first served and we should have plenty of those items.

An allocation equals:
1 bottle of Halia, Gillian, or Backyard Bourbon County
2 bottles of Bourbon County Coffee OR Bourbon County Barleywine
1 bottle each of Bourbon County Coffee and Bourbon County Barleywine

We feel that this is the most fair manner to make sure everyone leaves with roughly the same volume of the most limited options. To ensure that people have the best chance of trying multiple beers an individual will not be able to get a four pack of Barleywine or Coffee, or two Halia, two Gillian, etc.

Like with all limited releases, a few bottles of each limited release will be set aside solely for K-Klub members at our Beerocracy raffles. We will have a Beerocracy tasting and raffle in December at the downtown location. We will have more details shortly with the date and time. The theme of the tasting will be "High Octane", with each beer being 8.0% abv or higher.

If you have any further questions feel free to ask.

What time do you expect people to get there? I don't want to camp out all night but I am driving 2 hours so missing out entirely would be the suck.

 

[aasher]

we should have enough product to provide around 150 people with the two allocations.

Different picture. Thanks for noticing though. And a whole twice, which isn't "anywhere I can".


Your observation skills are weak.

So how early do I get to (oops, I mean have to) leave my in-laws to come to this thing?

As of now I'm bringing at least 2 CCB beers that have spent time in a bourbon barrel.

I plan to arrive at about 8:30. If there are too many people in front of me I assume they will just let me up front when I pull out my piece.

[SmarterThanTheAvgBear]

There MAY be a scenario where I wake up on friday in chicago, and drive to indy that day for the weekend. IF IM LUCKY, I should have 3 or so Coconuts. One of them must be sent to Yamar. The other one, if I come, I would like to meet up with some of you and drink it, through straws.... out of solo cups.

 

[KWilk]

If you go from Chicago to Indy you'll drive right past my parents house where I'll be for thanksgiving! And should you happen to get an itch for that coconut and can't handle the whole drive.... Well... Get at me.

Nothing says craft beer event like taking your "piece" out in line.

Probably because you don't look like the guy in your avatar.
