Mark your calendars for Darkness at the Blue Nile

By on October 6, 2007in bars/restaurants, beer events, breweries

Here’s the official word from Al at the Blue Nile… Surly Darkness release party on October 30th…

Yes, it’s still over 3 weeks away, but set your calendar to Tuesday the 30th for the official release party at the Blue Nile. Come one, come all, but don’t drink it all in one night! I may have some other special things going on, so I’ll post this event once that’s decided.
Let’s say 7pm.

There’s an excellent poster for Darkness by Adam Turman, who did that last Surly “thank you” poster. I’ll put up a link once I see it on either Surly’s or Adam’s website. He did a great job, even without any cleavage…

To give back to the community that has been so good to us, this year we are helping out with “Coats for Kids”. This is a branch of the Salvation Army that runs a clothing drive to benefit area youth. This year they have hopes of collecting 10,000 coats to distribute to local children in need. Start bringing in your coats today…….here to Town Hall Brewery. Bring in new or gently used children’s coats….please wash them first…..we will get them to the Salvation Army.

Also, to raise more money for the Salvation Army and Coats for Kids we will feature a Silent Auction during our anniversary week. Come and check out all the goods donated by fine area companies and bid on some of
your favorites. Winners announced Sat. 10/27. Bid a bit extra it’s ok…it is all going to charity!

More details will follow.
Cheers,
Mike
