Bills Tailgate Bourbon Guide: What to Pour at Highmark Stadium

Bills Mafia is a bourbon culture as much as it's a beer culture. Here's our shortlist for what to bring to the lot — broken down by what's in your pocket.

The Tailgate Tier ($25–$45)

You're going to share. You're going to spill. You don't bring the unicorn to a parking lot in 18°F.

• Buffalo Trace — the obvious one; smooth, friendly, named for our city
• Maker's Mark — soft, wheat-forward, hard to argue with
• Wild Turkey 101 — proof for cold weather, classic flavor
• Old Forester 86 — punching way above its $25 price
• Four Roses Yellow Label — gentle, sippable, crowd-pleaser

The Touchdown Tier ($50–$80)

You bought a parking pass. You have a propane heater. Pour a real one.

• Eagle Rare 10 — Buffalo Trace mash bill, 10 years, MSRP-ish
• Old Forester 1920 — Prohibition-style, big and rich
• Knob Creek 12 Year — patient, oaky, satisfying
• Russell's Reserve Single Barrel — confident, floral, long finish

The Allocated Tier (Playoff Night)

You're hosting at home. You want one bottle that'll be the story of the night.

• Blanton's — single barrel, iconic, wins the room
• E.H. Taylor Single Barrel — bottled-in-bond, refined
• Stagg — barrel proof, dangerously good
• Weller Antique 107 — wheated, soft, allocated

Join the allocated waitlist — we drop bottles to the list when our allocation lands.
