October 25, 2012 Greetings! Darkness is Coming... <http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs145/1102478489939/img/71.jpg> This Saturday, October 27, we'll be opening up the brewery for the hordes of Surly Nation who come every year to get a first taste of our Russian Imperial Stout, <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001K_RkWwX6LNGlWXL0zKTVB5KSSNDvJ2QgABGDAhZ7QDKb Mhsjl44wTdfZwemoe_PdIQr_aJcBHd3tc3kK6mDXr35Oy1PZZuN8HN9HG5Ee9Pa4zI6CHrm44QMx DzHK8fp8qMAYOR8BDEXPwXDDiGB-i2gBMrNJiikSaFwkre0ZwAA=> Darkness. We celebrate the launch every year with great beer and special releases, food and music. You don't need a ticket for Darkness Day, but if you're planning on buying a 750ml bottle of Darkness, you'll need to get a wristband. The first 1,500 in line outside the brewery will get wristbands and will be able to buy up to six bottles of Darkness at the brewery from 11am. Bottles are $18 and it's CASH ONLY. Darkness wristbands will be color-coded. We will be bringing in groups of 150 people at a time. Signs will be posted at the event to let you know when you can enter the brewery to purchase Darkness. If you miss your allotted time, you will be able to enter later to purchase bottles with any other group. If you miss out on the first 1,500 wristbands and we have bottles left, we'll be holding a second sale around 4:30pm with a maximum of four bottles per person. If you miss that, Darkness will be in bars starting Monday, October 29, and bottles will be hitting stores starting on Monday, November 5. If you do plan on getting here early to get in line for a Darkness wristband, <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001K_RkWwX6LNEOehZqXJiq1TJcCR9CXxig8CFEL3nbD5B6 qyIMZy2vuiJYm3OaEloZ69KLiNIXFm7yOsw42qTn5uvzVIcw3o8mPC9XeOgwFSeAMmcd48ePxg== <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001K_RkWwX6LNEry_EBo1cSGIASHXrV64trMPkUBK3Oyr-I olbOOGt2UezINN3-xeqPNj0obQjp2TwLvN0v4DE0qxDQwY61zlBUGH11VMIP31Os2nrT4O5Uag== until the gates open. We'll also have Surly volunteers working through the night to make sure everyone has a good time. The volunteers will blackball anyone being a dick in the line, so don't be a dick or you won't get in. Also, don't cut in line or hold a space for your buddy, we don't like that. The Beer (a Belgian-style IPA fermented with brettanomyces), casks of tea-bagged Furious, oak-aged Cynic and Bender, and 12oz. pours of Bandwagon, Hell, Damien, Furious, Cynic and Bender. We're going to be staggering the pours throughout the day, so keep an eye on the boards at the pouring stations to find out when beers are available. One $4 ticket gets you one beer (8oz. or 12oz.) and we ID everyone, so you better be 21+. Anyone under 21 must be accompanied by an adult. Want to buy your buddy a Surly at Darkness Day? Surly will be trying out a new app that lets you buy beers for your friends.

Our gracious neighbors have let us use their parking lots, and there's overflow parking at Caribou across Highway 100. If you're hardcore enough to go green, we have limited bike parking on the north side of 48th and Drew. Finally, if you've had too much to drink don't be dumb, get a taxi home. We'd much prefer you leave your car with us, as long as you come and get it before Monday morning. <http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs145/1102478489939/img/73.jpg> Wicked Food Make sure to fill yourself with more than Darkness through the day with some great food from <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001K_RkWwX6LNE7G90Dk9k08oSV5o5I5pJFZTSjw-n91DUH sM-6Jv-rxXDQ3NyoPLu5lTY0OiaB3OTgc9wm_9Xf4tA3Su1Sq8HHASzQdQwVxL7AV7pH3kZQUreI pu7YsPiT> Stanley's On Wheels, <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001K_RkWwX6LNEQ4ogxdPCQljBG1iRhuyM7vw0XWStkFWZW YszYT4nK7ATAfY7aUuf0joFgp-XxUgZ1ememOAN4qx7DXulTiaRXUL_UkahpemAI-YMkaJBNCA== <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001K_RkWwX6LNFTFX6zMnJR4q-wTxstpzrSQLNukK2HAeei CFKGsOL_jnhcPrK7AnzUGXU3Uk8bpC1kDfnEOv0kDzgGGusan1a9_vHiRIGp4MQ=> Natedogs, <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001K_RkWwX6LNHQCXng5kFWuGjauOAvHYfst-if50_YhXYm NjqbChfuuL4VLXMx7y5TCClrpIUjXlxkCXS7zSQBagjXgIIToatthCg1o3boojFvB0cJcZMzZg== <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001K_RkWwX6LNGxgdD98Dwbsv1bmgu0WaGempxcmxwdtyT1 d_jv3eHRrRqpQakNu8ASnEI-3W0AdH3Hh1mXgKV1PkxFkmukwEDADRDWr87RJkNiQvPRbdBvdFo5 rkONQOsz> Scratch Food Truck, <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001K_RkWwX6LNHhb6UfHVJSAo32zCqodECNeZnwQfOj19Q3 5NsCA7_CMGzecgK-GChSFglNJoNhL_hNMcbEv7HSrXcFSmU2-fTa2k3fXsIMSDzy0EipdYrmc6sI yIu8Sksr> Groveland Confections and <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001K_RkWwX6LNEOehZqXJiq1TJcCR9CXxig8CFEL3nbD5B6 qyIMZy2vuiJYm3OaEloZ69KLiNIXFm7yOsw42qTn5uvzVIcw3o8mPC9XeOgwFSeAMmcd48ePxg== #darknessday If you're dying to tweet about what you're drinking at Darkness Day, make sure to let us know <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001K_RkWwX6LNHYgWrES4QjS2ai-lPers3U2xlPD4oxLZ0z QMzxdN5zRTEeafS_ThruTf07VuQlTAD5Vam6r1G4FErUw5Kfn4VHi-OpAypouBqd0mXUhUw2WFZi pFDhisFV> @surlybrewing, using #darknessday.
