Frequently Asked questions

Pickup orders can be collected at the Great Notion taproom you selected during business hours through close of the business the day after you place your order. We do not hold orders beyond the stated pickup window. Current pickup hours at all locations can be found in the “Locations” section of our website (here) or in the Taproom information section of the app.

We are not able to change orders once they have been placed, so be sure to review your order before completing your purchase. You can contact us at app@greatnotion.com with any questions about order cancellations, and we will be happy to help.

If you would like to have another person pick up your order or receive a local delivery, you can just check the “Proxy” box and enter the name and phone number of that person. We have also added a “Gift” option when placing a shipping order so you can enter the name of the person who will be receiving the package without changing your profile information in the app.

We have partnered with DoorDash to make local delivery quicker, more widespread, and easier for our users. 

With DoorDash, you can order your beer and have it delivered either same-day or next-day within a two-hour delivery window of your choosing. Orders can be delivered anywhere in a ten-mile radius* of any of our locations in Portland, Seattle, and Sacramento. You will be able to track your delivery status right in the GN app for even greater convenience, and best of all – there is no minimum purchase amount! The delivery fee charged by DoorDash is dependent on your location and will be displayed in the checkout screen before you complete your purchase.

Make sure you have your ID ready when your Dasher gets to your door – the person named on the order must be 21+ and available to accept delivery on arrival.

Once your delivery order is on its way, you will receive text updates from your driver. However, if you need to cancel or reschedule your delivery, you can do so up to two hours before your scheduled delivery window. Just shoot us a message with your order number at delivery@greatnotion.com and we will take care of the rest!

All delivery-related questions and requests should be directed to the same email address. No need to contact DoorDash directly – we will handle any order issues or inquiries at Great Notion.

There is no shipping on Saturday, Sunday, or certain holiday.

Please note that by law, we are not allowed to leave your beer at your door. You must be present to receive the order and have ID on hand. Please make sure you will be available to do so before placing your order. This is true for both local delivery and shipped orders

I ordered the wrong beer/I don’t like my beer.

We do not accept beer returns. You are responsible for reviewing your order details before placing your order. If you do find an error, please reach out to us as soon as possible. Because we process and ship orders quickly after orders are placed, we cannot guarantee that we can accommodate modifications. Our beer is subject to a stringent quality control process, and we are confident that the beer we are sending out is some of the best out there. However, if you feel that there is a quality issue, we want to know about it! You can reach out to us at shipping@greatnotion.com with details and photos (if applicable), and we will make a determination on a case by case basis.
