Black Tuesday. Gone In 60 Minutes

The Bruery just tweeted that Black Tuesday is all gone.  It took about 60 minutes.  The website was slow moving, but was stable the whole time. (Yeah, I’m looking at you ticket agent for 3 Floyd’s Dark Lord Day)

Bottles were $30, with a limit of 3 per person.  The brewery(The Bruery, lol) has said on numerous occasions that there will be more opportunities to get Black Tuesday throughout the year.

Personal opinion? One of the better rare beer releases I’ve seen in a while.

Bruery / Elysian / Stone La Citrueille Céleste de Citracado Released

Stone Brewing Co. announces its newest collaboration beer a will be arriving over the next few weeks.   Stone’s Steve Wagner & Mitch Steele worked with The Bruery‘s Patrick Rue and Tyler King as well as Elysian Brewing Company‘s Dick Cantwell to develop Bruery / Elysian / Stone La Citrueille Céleste de Citracado, an amber ale brewed with pumpkins grown on Stone Farms, yams, rye, toasted fenugreek, birch bark, and lemon verbena.

“All of us are kind of known for big, imperial beers, and the fact that we came together to make this mellower pumpkin beer… I think it was very restrained and dignified of us,” jokes Rue. “And I think we brought some really interesting spice additions to the table.”

Steele explains: “The yam and pumpkin make their appearance on the finish, with some Eastern-influenced spiciness and trace maple notes from the toasted fenugreek, combining with hints of birch. This is no pumpkin pie beer. No cloves. No nutmeg. No cinnamon.”
