One Shade of The Bruery’s Grey Monday

A cousin? Sister? Hot neighbor to the infamous Black Tuesday– this is The Bruery’s Grey Monday. It is closing in on a year ago that Beer Street Journal mentioned that this Black Tuesday variant was going to be released. No implying here. Grey Monday is the brewery’s massive imperial stout aged in bourbon (Black Tuesday), with a hazelnut addition. Every member in the 2012 Reserve Society received one last year…

We are going to do an extremely limited bottling of this beer, just for you. Each member will get a single bottle. There will be no extra beer for sale. Not to you and not to anyone else. We want this one to be extra special.

Grey Monday is a part of the Reserve Society again this year too. By all estimates this will be the 3rd brew of what sounds like an insanely good imperial stout. (1: Dinner at Beachwood BBQ, 2: 2012 bottles). Good luck getting your handles on a taste or even a bottle.

Style: Imperial Stout (w/ hazelnut, Barrel Aged. Bourbon)
Availability: 750 ml Bottles. Bruery Reserve Society Only.
Arrival: TBA (2013)

18.6% ABV

Beer Street Journal Video: Inside Red Brick’s Biggest Beer

Red Brick Brewing (Atlanta, Georgia) just brewed their biggest beer to date – 20th Anniversary Imperial Stout.  The beer clocks in at the highest ABV they have ever created – 10.5% ABV.

Instead of doing another American Strong Ale – Garrett Lockhart and Steve Anderson and brew crew went another direction. And big. This boozy imperial stout doesn’t disappoint straight out of the brite tank (finishing tank) and most definitely won’t after 4 months in Buffalo Trace barrels.

In keeping with the past, 20th Anniversary will arrive in 12oz/4 packs and draft. Look for it’s arrival late Summer, 2013.
