Location

Bierock (2911 N. Sherman Ave., Madison, WI) | Madison, WI

Bierock is host to an annual Kentucky Derby Watch Party in Madison on Saturday May 4, 2024.
In celebration, Bierock honors the best of what the Bluegrass State has to offer, namely horse racing and bourbon.
First up is a tapping of Bourbon Barrel Ale by Lexington Brewing Company in Kentucky.
According to the brewery…
"Our Kentucky Irish Red Ale is aged for at least six weeks in freshly decanted bourbon barrels from some of Kentucky’s finest distilleries. Subtle, yet familiar, flavors of vanilla and oak are imparted to this special ale as it rests in the charred barrels. Pleasantly smooth and robust, Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale may also be served as an aperitif or after-dinner drink. Launched in 2006, it has grown to become the flagship beer of the premier name in barrel-aged beers: Lexington Brewing & Distilling Co."
We’ve secured a sixth barrel of this specialty beer, but being a limited quantity, when it’s gone, it’s gone.
Additionally, we’ll serve Mint Julep cocktails made with Maker’s Mark bourbon and garnished with a sprig of fresh mint.
Appropriately, the Derby and its undercard will be shown on Bierock’s big projection screen TV. Customers will be able to pretend they’re on the homestretch at Churchill Downs.
Bierock’s full food and drink menu will be available the day of the event.
So wear your best Derby hat and join us to watch the first leg of the Triple Crown in the 150th annual Run for the Roses, the most exciting two minutes in sports.
Doors open at 11:00 a.m. with the post-race coverage expected to conclude around 6:30 p.m.
Then on the day we celebrate the Bluegrass state, we’ll have some live bluegrass music by the Sound Billies on Apr. 4 at 8:00 p.m.
Located at 2911 N. Sherman Ave., Bierock is part of the Northside TownCenter and across the street from Warner Park.
