MA Rosko from Fox 9 visited Surly Brewing Co. to talk about Darkness. Click here to see the video. It doesn’t show it in the video, but hopefully she got to drink a little Darkness. Nothing like a little imperial stout to start the morning!

Thanks to Chip (Brewhound) for sharing his photos. More photos & video can be found here. This year’s artwork comes from Nic Skrade at Uptown Tattoo. More Darkness Day info below the fold.
If only I weren’t working this weekend, a visit to Brau Brothers in Lucan would surely be enticing. Dustin doesn’t mention it below, but Chris Laumb’s (McCann’s) band, Cannery Row is playing as well. Read on…
Hey everyone, just a quick note from Lucan. For everyone not heading to Denver this weekend, you’re invited to take an equally exciting trip to Lucan! This Saturday we’re opening up the brewery for our first annual Hop Fest. Beer, food, and live music. All beers will be on tap as well as Ring Neck Braun and several casks. No entry fee, just show up and be ready to BS. We’ll open the gates at 1 pm and close them at 8 pm. If you haven’t been out, this is a good excuse to see lovely southwest Minnesota! If you have any questions, just call or email me at the brewery. ~ Dustin
