Surly Darkness Day 2013

Just make sure your $4$ is right.

 

I for sure will be bringing my freshest batch of my Chocolate Habanero Imperial Stout. The rest is up in the air, if I can manage to keep my brauler un opened till then I have a delicious Imperial Stout from Gandy Dancer in Souix Falls. Most likely some NG and if said brauler is cached I'll hit up Barley Johns for something like last year.

 

Seems like as good a time as any to crack open Mimosa right?

 

Some crazy bastard is bringing kegs of Imperial Biscotti Break and Westbrook Gose. Can't wait. Love those two beers.

 

I think cupcakes are on the menu again this year.

ETA: And my bottle of Before the Dawn, at the very least.

 

Bringing the girlfriend, Ill see if shes a keeper!

 

Can someone post a link to the ip trading spreadsheet?

Anyone have a good guess on the cut off time to get a wristband this year? I am planning on getting there at 6am currently but thinking about coming earlier.

 

I'm sure 6am Friday will be fine.

 

Depends on the weather outlook. 2 years ago it was uh I want to say 50-60 or so, I got there at 5:30am and was one of the last maybe 100 or so people who got a wristband. Last year was 20ish and they had them until around 11am or so. You make the call, if you can do earlier why not do earlier. Or just show up later and go for the leftovers.

 

Are Cuzco kids guaranteed a pour?

 

You could go back & read the thread.

I don't know I I need to go $4$, after all, natty won a gold at GABF!

 

I might be able to hook you up . Just have to find me!

 

I've got growlers of J.Wakefield and Tree House poured last wknd arriving tomorrow. I hope they have carbonation next Friday. I'm almost tempted to call a pre-Darkness Day Tasting Saturday night.

 

Same boat here...was seriously thinking about having some people over for a growler I have, but figured people would have trouble getting 'away' two weekends in a row for beer. Hopefully it'll still be good next weekend!

 

I'll be throwin down a growler tomorrow night I think of Gandy Dancer Imperial Stout from Souix Falls just cause I doubt it'll survive till next week since I got it last Friday. It is in my Brauler which has held beer in a better state far longer than any growler I've ever had, but it was filled just straight from the tap so not sure I want to risk it. Oh well just picked up some Wine Barrel Aged St Whatsername from Pour Decisions and got some new board games, so sounds like a good time anyways tomorrow :-D

 

The trader sending the J. Wakefield isn't that confident in the operation that filled it. I'm drinking it Saturday. I didn't think I'd get a shot at anything by Wakefield this soon, and I don't think there is a more hyped brewer without an operation. Probably best to crack it now. I'm open to sharing it and the Tree House if that arrives tomorrow on Sat if there's a place in the West Metro that will allow us to bring it in. I know people who'd drink it with me, but they'd be just as excited if I brought a 4 pack of Furious over. Send me a BM if you're interested and have suggestions. It would be cool to meet some people before Darkness Day.

 

I can go Sat. I'm up north. I might be able to bring back a grower of Cold Pressed Coffee from Bent Paddle.
