DARKNESS DESCENDS! (SOON)
Surly Brewing Company has already reached legendary status with its Darkness and Darkness Day. Darkness is a Russian Imperial Stout brewed and bottled and distributed on site at the brewery once a year. Last year, there were only 200 bottles made and the Darkness Day event took place on a freezing cold December Day. Need a reference point? Here's a video from my pal and homebrew mentor Don Osborn - http://donosborn.com)
Darkness Day - December 15, 2007
This year, the brewery has more than 4,000 bottles ready to go for Darkness Day on October 25th. Doors open at Noon. The first 700 people will be given a wristband and the option of buying up to (6) 750ml bottles. There's three bands playing throughout the day:
12:15 GuzzleMug
2:00 God Came From Space
4:00 Powermad
There will also be food, and of course - the best beer Surly has to offer.
For more information see: http://www.surlybrewing.com
Here are some videos and pictures of Brewhound and his volunteer comrades helping out -- labeling bottles and hand-dipping them in wax. This years label is awesome, designed by local tattoo artist Nic Skrade. Poster of the design will be available Saturday.
As Surly's owner Omar would say: "See you drinking!"

This is a blog for BrewHound aka Chip Walton, producer for Fox 9 News and former beer columnist for Hill Country Directions ("Brewhouse Bulletin"). I also have a news-related blog as 'newshound-mpls' This blog is specifically meant for sharing and increasing my enjoyment of craft beers from Minnesota, Wisconsin, and all over the country. We'll discuss brews, breweries, beer events, beer tourism, etc. I enjoy and respect beer. Used to be a big fan of the ESB, IPA, hop hop hops! But in the last few years, I’ve grown more into stouts, strong/old ales, barleywine, experimental brews. The Twin Cities (and Midwest [heck, all of America]) is full of brewpubs, microbrews and well-stocked beer stores. My beer philosophy: Beer should be good, lift the spirit and bring fun people together.
