2019 Surly Darkness Day Announces Dawn of Darkness Pour List

The field is set, and we now know a bit more about the all-star cast of beers and breweries who will be joining Surly Brewing for the 2019 Darkness Day. Last year, Surly debuted a full weekend of programming to heighten the experience surrounding the release of their cult-classic Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout. One of the biggest additions to Surly Darkness Day is Friday night’s Dawn of Darkness beer festival, which includes over 20 guest breweries, whose beers are not typically available in the state of Minnesota.

In advance of September 27th’s Dawn of Darkness, we’ve received a sneak preview of the beers being poured at the fest, and it seems the participating breweries all received the memo to bring out the big guns.

Keep in mind, this is an initial projected pour list and that all beers are subject to change, but here’s your first look at the 2019 Dawn of Darkness Pour List.
