LIF: What am I drinking... 2.0: Darkness and Dark Clouds

This LIF is a continuation of Cheesemoose's "What am I drinking..." LIF in which he generously sent me a Huna, many thanks man.

Rules:
1. Lower 48
2. Nobody in the Twin Cities, Rochester. Outstate MN is fine, but if I can drive to your house in an hour and you don't have any Darkness, that's on you.
3. No accounts created in Oct or Nov 2012, no dummy accounts, whatever, just don't be a dick.
4. It would be cool if the winner was someone who had never tried Darkness, but this beer gets around so its probably unrealistic. If you have Darkness in your cellar (any year), or on the way via trade, don't participate. Its all honor system, don't be a dick.
5. The winner should start a LIF of their own in a reasonable time frame. I am continuing the single bottle format as suggested by Cheesemoose and I kind of like the idea of this single bottle shipper traversing the country, but the type of LIF you start is your call.
6. I'll give more clues whenever it seems reasonable, the next will be whenever I wake up. One guess per clue.

OK, enough of that crap. I was hoping to start this LIF in celebration of Minnesota Stars FC winning back to back NASL titles but alas my Stars lost the finals on penalty kicks. But, in honor of their NASL championship in 2011 I ask, what was the first beer I drank from the NASL Soccer Bowl trophy after the Stars won the championship in 2011?

Winner receives a 1 bottle shipper containing a 2012 Surly Darkness.
Guess away,
Cheers
Ryan

 

Alright, first clue....

This beer was not brewed in Minnesota.
