Black Tuesday 2014 Sale Details You’ll Want to Know
It’s that time of year again! Black Tuesday 2014 will soon be ready for sale to the public.
Every year we’ve worked to make the experience of getting this beer as pleasant as possible, and this year we are proud to announce a new method for those interested in purchasing Black Tuesday 2014. We will first be holding a drawing to determine who may purchase the beer this year, followed by an extended purchase period. There will be plenty of time to get your ticket into our drawing and to then purchase the beer. Here are the details on the Black Tuesday 2014 public sale.
WHAT
The public sale of Black Tuesday 2014 will take place at the end of this month. In order to be able to purchase this beer, you will need to be selected from a free drawing. Drawings for winners will take place in late October and winners will be notified of how to purchase Black Tuesday 2014 via email. The drawing can be entered by anyone (whether a society member or non-society member), by “purchasing” a free entry on The Bruery Store website. There’s plenty of time to get your entry into the drawing — over 2 weeks’ time!

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a bottle of Black Tuesday cost?
Black Tuesday retails for $29.99 plus tax.
Will Black Tuesday be available anywhere else for sale?
Black Tuesday only sees one general release per year. The only way to absolutely guarantee access to Black Tuesday is by joining any of our Societies, including our Preservation Society which is offering Black Tuesday as part of its 4th Quarter package. From time to time, we release a very limited quantity for special archive releases like our 12 days of Christmas celebration or during our anniversary month.
Can somebody else pick my beer up for me?
Yes! Just navigate to the account settings on TheBrueryStore.com and assign a Pick-up Trustee. This will give that person the authority to pick up orders in your name. The Bruery is not responsible for any product picked up by a trustee.
Can I have my beer shipped? How much does it cost?
Shipping is available only in California through Golden State Overnight. A 21+ year old adult must be present to receive and sign for the delivery. Shipping costs $15 for 3 bottles, $18 for 4 bottles, $21 for 6 bottles, $23 for 9 bottles, and $28 for 12 bottles.

Preservation Society members may pick up any bottles purchased through the public sale on November 4th, but the bottle included in the Q4 Preservation package will not be ready for pickup until on/around December 15th.
I’m a Society member, may I enter the drawing?

Rum barrel aged Black Tuesday was produced solely for our Reserve Society and Hoarders Society members. Each member will receive the bottles included in their membership with no option to purchase additional bottles. Bottles are available for pickup on/after October 29th.
If my name is not drawn, will there be any chance of getting Black Tuesday this year?

If there are bottles leftover from the first round of sales, we may do a second drawing and notify those winners the following week.
