Back in November of last year I gathered together some DarkLord Day hearsay and rumblings and put together this post, which passed those rumors on to you.That post was entirely incorrect - both the date and location are different.
After digging around, here are the details I now feel safe reporting.
According to the Dark Lord Day 2008 event page on BeerAdvocate.com:
DarkLord Day 2008 Saturday April 26th 11Am-10:30pmFurthermore, Floydicus himself reports these details in the BeerAdvocate forums:
DarkLord Day 2008 is the only day of the year to buy Three Floyds DarkLord Russian Imperial stout.DLD is a festival where participants can meet other beer enthusiasts, sample beers from all over ,buy DarkLord, try Oak Aged Dark Lord Russian Imperial Stout ,eat BBQ, Listen to live music.
Darklord Day 2008 will be greatly improved to accommodate larger crowds, including expanded parking, more porta johns, shorter lines and more food choices.
DarkLord Day:Although we previously reported rumor of the event happing at the Hammond Civic Center, those rumors are incorrect. The event is being held at Three Floyds Brewery.

Wait just a minute here... did I read that correctly? There will be more porta johns this year! Boy how I wish I could go. Keep in mind that it is inordinately difficult to type with my tongue so firmly embedded in my cheek, so I'll have to keep this short
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great day... looking forward to reading about it.

I am super excited about this event now. How much does it cost? Is this like a beer tasting event or what. Basically how does it work? Also how far away is that, cause I imagine I will need a hotel or a very nice DD to take me home afterwards!!!
ReplyDeleteBasically the event is how it reads - Thousands of people show up to buy DarkLord, trade beer, and just drink. 3 Floyd's Brewpub is supposed to have all the other breweries beers on tap, and all the other stuff listed in the post above.
ReplyDeleteHow it works is a bunch of people who like beer show up, trade beer if that's their thing, share beer if that's their thing, and get in line at 11 to buy DarkLord at $15 CASH ONLY per 22 oz. bottle (with a limit of 6 bottles, usually).
Munster is 162 miles from the downtown Indianapolis circle, so if you plan to drink to excess, please find a designated driver or a hotel room.
