template message the bruery s products are considered to be experimental ales brewed in the belgian tradition . using a proprietary belgian yeast strain for the majority of their beer the bruery creates beers through their use of unique ingredients such as coriander bitter orange peel and lavender in their orchard white or bacteria such as pediococcus and lactobacillus along with pinot noir grapes in their pinotlambicus . the bruery is also notable for their use of oak barrels both bourbon and wine for the fermentation and aging of their beers . particularly they have become well known for their strong bourbon aged ales that can range between 13 % and 19.5 % alcohol by volume typical beers have around 3 % to 7 % alcohol by volume . one of the bruery s more infamous beers is a bourbon barrel aged imperial stout known as black tuesday . this beer is released only once each year on the final tuesday of october and is named for both the economic downturn of the great depression as well as the disastrous day at the brewery when it was first brewed . 3 several batches are brewed and aged in oak barrels to later be blended to taste and bottled for release . it was first released in october 2009 and was 19.5 % abv . the october 2010 release was 18.2 % abv . there are also several variants of black tuesday including chocolate rain a version of the beer with cocoa nibs and vanilla beans added to it . special release collection edit the bruery releases a number of small batch beers throughout the year . often these beers are only made once and never again and
