He is coming... the Dark Lord is approaching! Can you feel the excitement starting to build? I know I can.
In approximately three weeks the area surrounding Three Floyds in Munster will be filled with microbrew enthusiasts from the four corners of the world who have been waiting for a year to buy this "Gargantuan Russian Imperial Stout brewed with coffee, molasses, and honey; 13% abv"
Tony and I attended Dark Lord Day 2007 sort of by accident. We had heard of it but hadn't planned to attend. Our good friend, "Captain Steve" waiting in line for several hours but had to leave to go to work. He called Tony to see if we wanted to come take his place in line. We decided to "take one for the team" and go assume his place.
We were amazed when we arrived at the cars, and hoards of people waiting to get a taste of the Dark Lord. The line seemed to move pretty quickly but I think it was because Tony ran over and got us some Gumballheads to drink while we waited and we had great people in front and in back of us in line.
As a matter of fact, we've bumped into the two couples in back of us in line several times. We affectionately refer to them as "the kids" and they are a blast. I've searched for the email to list their names, but I can't find it. Suffice it to say, they are a great group! (Here I am in the middle with the girls in July at the Indiana Microbrewer's Festival in Indianapolis)So, if you don't have plans on Saturday, April 26 try to stop by 9750 Indiana Parkway in Munster, Indiana between 11 a.m. and 10:30 p.m. for food, music, beer sharing, new friends and of course - The Dark Lord.
