From The Bruery:
It's a day we look forward to every year - the last Tuesday of October; the release of our much revered, beloved, bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout: Black Tuesday®.
We just packaged the 2015 edition of Black Tuesday last week and we can barely contain our excitement. It was our biggest batch ever in many ways, and we packaged it more quickly than ever before, thanks to our new state-of-the-art bottling line. Now that Black Tuesday is waiting patiently in its packaging until October 27, it's time for us to spill the beans to you on all things Black Tuesday this year.
Oh. And in the event you're wondering or taking bets with your beer buddies, we'll just come right out and say it: this year's creation clocks in at 19.9% ABV. So let's party like it's 19.9[9] this year as we welcome the latest batch of Black Tuesday. Here we go!
