When placing an order we please ask that you translate your shipping information into English font to avoid delays.

We will need to have a translated shipping address for the order to print propelry for our shipping couriers. 

If you have any questions please contact orders@blackplaguebrewing.com.

Nope! Your points will never expire.

When you return an item, you lose the associated credit you originally earned by buying the item in the first place. Sound kind of confusing? Let's take an example: let's say you had previously spent $50 towards a 'spend $100, earn 1,000 points' promotion, and you decide to buy a $20 item, which bumps you up to $70. If you decide to return that item, your progress would also go back down to $50 – it's just like you hadn't bought the item in the first place.

Our team is ready and waiting to answer your questions about our rewards program! Just send us an email and we'll be in touch. support@blackplaguebrewing.com

We currently require you to have enough points to redeem any of the awards you see listed on the PLAGUE Points tab.

As people began to get sick, Plague Doctors were contracted by the city to treat the sick, rich or poor. They often worked in isolation as they were quarantined for 40 days before being able to rejoin the community. True underdogs, they were regarded as ‘Empirics’ because they got their knowledge from practical experience and experimenting with new methods of treating patients… as opposed to laboratory research. Coincidentally, the art of brewing beer is very similar in that a lot of award winning recipes are found through experimentation and trying new things. There are so many parallels between serving the public as a Plague Doctor and brewing delicious beer as a brewmaster. Plague doctors didn’t care what other’s thought about them. They were innovators and non-conformists, they weren’t restricted by traditional laws of the time. They were often given special privileges to perform autopsies when it was forbidden for general doctors. They were fearless. They took risks… They developed a mystique that became their identity. Always respect the Plague Doctor.

Some notable names such as Tony Hawk, Nyjah Huston, and many other professional skateboarders are part of the team.

Several hard-working and talented people have come together to create a beer brand that represents the misfits, renegades, underdogs, rebels, rule-breakers, nonconformists, hustlers, D-I-Yers, and all those who strive to be better, stand out from the crowd, and follow their true passion.
