Kicking off on National Bourbon Day, the tour will stop in five US cities this summer featuring panel discussions with local culture makers and cookout-style day parties

Black Bourbon Society (BBS), is pleased to present the 2nd Annual Open Door Tour, sponsored by Jim Beam® Bourbon. Embodying Jim Beam's inclusive and welcoming nature, the tour will spotlight Black-owned bars and restaurants that serve as cultural pillars in their respective communities.

The Open Door Tour is a series of five weekend-long events, for legal-drinking age guests, with the goal of highlighting black-owned bars and restaurants.  The tour will kick off in Oakland June 16-18th, followed by stops in the following cities: June 23-25 in Orlando, June 30-July 2 in Charlotte, July 7-9 in Houston and July 14-16 in Los Angeles. Each city will host the following activities:

  • BEAM UP THE BAR – A welcome lunch trade event that will include an education session on the full breadth of Jim Beam's product line.
  • BEAM IN THE CITY – A panel discussion featuring local culture makers or entrepreneurs on topics relative to the culture, lifestyle and vibe of each city followed by a social hour and an educational Jim Beam flight & food tasting.
  • HIGHBALL HOUR  – A lively social event highlighting black bartenders and their unique spin on a Jim Beam Highball and cocktails featuring Jim Beam Black®.
  • RHYTHM AND BEAM DAY PARTY – A fun, outdoor cookout-style day party featuring a battle of the DJs, an educational tasting experience and all the feel-good summertime vibes.

Black Bourbon Society is an organization open to everyone who enjoys premium spirits and is interested in gaining a deeper appreciation for America's Native Spirit. BBS bridges the gap between the spirits industry and African American bourbon enthusiasts through brand-partnered events, social media platforms and exclusive distillery excursions.

“We are thrilled to partner with Jim Beam to celebrate Black-owned Bars and Restaurants for the second year in a row,” says Samara Davis, founder of Black Bourbon Society. “Beam's long-term commitment to diversity and inclusion within the spirits space will not only allow us to activate in at least 20 Black-owned venues, but support dozens of Black-owned businesses and introduce new diverse consumers to America's Native Spirit. The impact of Open Door 2022 will be immeasurable.”
