Last week, the Washington State Cougars did something that seemed out of the realm of possibility for a Mike Leach offense, running for 280 yards and six touchdowns. That was a rare event, at least so far in Leach’s Cougar tenure. Baxter wanted to celebrate with a rare beer to match.
The Bruery in Orange County, Calif. makes all sorts of large stouts, the most famous of which is Black Tuesday, a hulking near-20 percent bourbon-barrel aged stout that is released once a year, with only a small amount sold to the general public. The only way to guarantee a taste of Black Tuesday is join one of The Bruery’s “societies”, which would require a California address for delivery or the ability to trip down to the brewery in Placentia once a quarter to pick up your haul.
