Where we ship
We ship to addresses within the state of Illinois only. Alcohol shipping is regulated separately by every state, and our Illinois retail licence does not authorise us to ship alcohol to consumers in other states. If your delivery address is outside Illinois, shipping will not be offered at checkout.
Customers outside Illinois are welcome to place an order and collect it in person at our Bloomington store, subject to the same 21-or-older photo ID requirement.
