I has to signify something that we’re going to Dark Lord Day 2010. This crazy festival, hosted by Three Floyds in Munster, Indiana, is one of the biggest beer events in the Midwest. And we’re going. My tickets came in the mail yesterday. It’s really happening.
Dark Lord Day 2010 is the only day that Three Floyds Dark Lord Russian Imperial Stout is available for purchase. This beer, coveted by enthusiasts and other strange folk nationwide (worldwide?), is the subject of a beer festival. It all happens on the premises of Three Floyds Brewing Company, where Dark Lord is on tap, live music is blaring, good food is disappearing, and lots of beer people are mingling, trading, and waiting in line with their tickets, which allow them to purchase a predetermined number of bombers, depending on the yield of this year’s batch. Last year I believe each ticket merited 4 bombers maximum.
The Perfectly Happy Man will be there this year, as none of us have had Dark Lord before, and we need to. We’ll be meeting other beer reviewers and website people, home brewers, and hopefully making some friends in the beer community. It will be a great time. We’re bringing a video camera to document, so we will have some good video from the event up on the site sometime thereafter.
Twitter users will most definitely be updating during the festival. Some of us will be doing the same. If you’re keen on Twitter, here’s what you need to know:
- PHM tweeters: @thePHman, @taylorbirkey, @m1chaellarson, @noelbirkey, @smilliet
- Three Floyds twitter: @3floyds, @darklordday

Leave us a comment if you’re going to be at Dark Lord Day … we’d love to meet you! Cheers!
Looking forward to the craziness.
I don’t have a ticket for Dark Lord, but I’m going out to experience the festivities since I enjoy 3Floyd’s Gumball Head, Alpha King & Robert the Bruce.
That’s the cool thing … it’s a free event, you can show up even if you don’t have a ticket. Hopefully we’ll see ya there, Chris.
See you there!
I entirely relish brewing beer at home! It has been such a great hobby. My family has been encouraging, but most especially once its time to try my latest brew. I was surprised to learn that it is actually the deep hoppy brews that I prefer. Just wanted to say cheers for the info you’ve left along the way, its been helpful.
Thanks for the support Malcom! We appreciate your comment and we’re glad you have found our site encouraging. How long have you been brewing? I’d love to talk about home brewing with you…my email is [email protected]
Cheers!
