Darkness Day 2013 Thread

We all slept on the ground. Seems reasonable to me...

 

Unless you were the dude passed out on the lawn on Sat am... A guy wearing a horse head mask was giving him a hard time. That alone was enough to keep me from passing out.

 

At least I didn't poop my pants and punch a security guard, or start a dumpster fire...

 

I'll be at one or the other or both (hopefully) so I can help out too! Plus, I know where you live...

 

Probably a federal ATF thing.. I've been told by a brewer planning to open Aug./Sept. that he couldn't even turn on his burner on his brew kettle to make sure it was even functional until he got his TTB approval.

 

My guess is they don't want to go through the hoops for a seperate license and whatever that would entail. I'm not sure there is any law at least in MN that would prevent them from having multiple locations (Herkimer and Moto-I are same owner and both produce).

Could be a federal thing as well, not as well versed on that law.

 

[Long sniff] I think I smell another Cali invasion coming.

And this time Sender better watch his ass. I've been bulking up in anticipation for this event. (Can you say 125 lbs?)

 

bring it on sissy.

 

Weird, I swear I had heard that they planned to move the "regular" brews to the new brewery, and use the current site for the more "funky/unusual/seasonal" stuff. Perhaps that was during Darkness day, and I was actually "sleeping"...

 

I recalled hearing this too. Specialty/pilot brewery at current site.

 

I certainly hope you guys are right. That's just what one of the homies behind the tap told me a few weeks ago.

 

you know them homies, thought they are homies and more than likely a BA themselves are volunteers and like stirring the pot, you know, "SShhhhh, this is a secret, but I will tell you anyway......."

 

hoping to attend as well, just need to convince the wife that it's a matter of national security that I be in Brooklyn Center MN in October. wants from Chicago/Wisco/Indiana brewers anybody?

 

I better start putting away beer.

 

1000 + bottles isn't enough! Lol

 

I too was under this impression, but can't remember where I heard it.

 

Surly is keeping the original brewery location and beer will still be brewed there... Per the guys from Surly in March, there are no plans to move Darkness Day!

 

I heard that from a guide when I did a tour...think he called himself the honey bear so not sure reputable source is fitting here.

 

The late Surly Boy Wonder told me that the barrel room was full of Syx.

I've since learned to take every ounce of Surly info with a grain of salt.
