our first private barrel

Some things can’t be ordered off a shelf. Together with our friends at Lincoln & Wicker, we hand-picked our very first private barrel: Chicken Cock Private Cask Kentucky Straight Rye, Barrel #15, bottled at a bold 123.8 proof with the Open Outcry name right on the label. Expect rich caramel, dried cherry, dark currant and warm baking spice, with a long rye finish. Chicken Cock dates back to 1856 in Paris, Kentucky, was smuggled in tin cans during Prohibition and was poured at Harlem’s Cotton Club. Now it’s poured on Western Avenue. Pull up a stool for a pour neat or over a big cube, or take home a bottle for the whiskey lover on your list. It’s the gift they can’t buy anywhere else. There’s only one barrel, so when it’s gone, it’s gone.

OutDrink the competition.
Outdrink the regulars.

Every Tuesday night, our brewery transforms into the ultimate battleground for brainiacs and beer lovers alike with our weekly trivia night! Several of our regular teams show up week after week, ready to defend their titles—but we’re always looking for challengers brave enough to take them on. Whether you’re a trivia newbie or a seasoned quiz master, there’s a seat for you at the table, and to make the night even sweeter, we’re pouring $5 pints all evening long. Bring your friends, test your wits, and enjoy some cold brews while proving your trivia chops.

Get your game face ready. Wednesday is bingo night

Hump day needed a reason to exist. We found one. BINGO. It's loud. It's fun. It's got $10 cocktails. It's got prizes. and the best part?? It's got BINGO Wendy here callin' em out like she sees 'em. This is a fun, free night that is family friendly, so bring your kids, have a pizza, have a beer and have some much-needed and much deserved, mid week fun!

All about November

November brings two pies to Open Outcry, and we’ve saved you a seat at the table! The Brownie Turtle Pie starts with a rich, fudgy brownie base. We top it with gooey caramel, chocolate, pecans, and fresh whipped cream. Our Salted Butterscotch Pie is silky homemade butterscotch with just enough sea salt to balance the sweetness, with fresh whipped cream and a toasted milk powder cookie crumble. It’s a cozy pie for chilly fall nights. One is chocolatey and indulgent, the other is buttery and smooth, and both are made from scratch. Come grab a slice before they’re gone!!!

meet your new favorite dessert

Not everyone orders dessert… but maybe you just haven’t found the right one yet. Introducing our Banana Bread Old Fashioned, this month’s sweet & boozy dessert cocktail! Made with bourbon, banana liqueur, chocolate bitters, and walnut bitters, it’s got all the cozy, nostalgic flavors of banana bread with a grown-up twist. Rich, smooth, sweet, and just a little unexpected, it’s the perfect “one and done” dessert for adults who’d rather sip their sweets. Come grab one while it’s here—because dessert doesn’t always need a fork.
