    I miss the time his daughter-mother-brother (I think I got that right) went to the industry only Surly party. That was classic.

    Powermad was the reason I stayed all day last year. If the bands aren't good I'll just go see the Blue Felix show that night instead.

    Good then I we don't have to deal with that awkward $2 change. Maybe we will get a beer token for a pour of Darkness?

    I feel like they did the can top at surlyfest because some people were less than stoked about the price increase.

    Per Surly Facebook page.


    On Saturday, October 26, starting at 11am, Surly Nation will storm the brewery gates to spend the afternoon at the brewery, drinking great beer, eating great food, and listening to great live music.

    Beer: The usual’s, plus limited releases and casks, will be poured throughout the afternoon. Beer tickets are $4. CASH ONLY. Check back soon for the full beer list.

    Food Trucks:
    6am - 11am:
    Caribou Coffee & Glam Doll Donuts

    11am - 5:30pm:
    Stanley's On Wheels, Scratch Food Truck, Gogi Brothers Korean BBQ, Natedogs and Asian Invasion.

    Live Music: Check back soon for more info.

    Swag: Darkness swag including chalices, posters, and shirts featuring 2013 Darkness art by Josh “Jawsh” Lemke as well as other Surly swag will be available for purchase.

    Darkness Bottles: 1,500 wristbands for Darkness bottles will be given out on a first come first serve basis. Darkness bottles are $20 each, CASH ONLY, with a limit of 6 bottles per wristband.

    Darkness wristbands will be color-coded and marked with your purchasing time. The bottle purchasing line is shown on the map and will be clearly marked on event day. If you miss your allotted time, you will be able to enter later to purchase bottles with any other group.

    If there are extra bottles after the initial sales, Darkness Day attendees will be able to buy up to four bottles of Darkness starting at 3:30 pm (while quantities last).

    Parking: Surly's neighbors have been gracious enough to let us use their parking lots. Don't make a mess. Overflow parking is available at Caribou across Hwy. 100.

    Limited bike parking is available for those of you who are hardcore enough to go green. Look for it on the North side of 48th and Drew.

    If you need to leave your car here, no problem. Please have it moved by Sunday morning or it will be towed.

    THE RULES:
    Must be 21+ to enter unless accompanied by parent. No tickets needed.

    DON'T SHOW UP BEFORE 3:30pm on Friday! Neighboring businesses will still be open and we want to respect their space and employees.

    Any tents/structures that are up during daylight hours will not be allowed.

    We will have volunteers helping with the line overnight. Please follow their direction as they can blackball you from the event if you don’t.



    As always, be safe and arrange a ride or take a taxi home.

    Pro Tip:
    The event always thins out later in the afternoon. Come on out in the afternoon to enjoy the free bands and the brewery.

    Is anyone setting up the random bottle BIF again? The one where you put a bottle of equal or greater value/rarity to Darkness in a brown bag and trade for the most recently submitted bottle.

    New DD guy here. If there at 8 am still a pretty good chance to get 6 Darkness? For bottle sharing do people just bring bottles or is there a list put together? Thanks
