Do you like zombies, beer, heavy metal, and food? If you answered yes to any one of these than you owe it to yourself to make it down to the Surly brewery this Saturday between 11:00 AM and 5:00 PM. This is your chance to get your hands on a few bottles of that always delicious and dark nectar known as Surly Darkness—a big, body-warming Russian Imperial Stout. Surly celebrates the limited release of this beer every year, inviting everyone to get together at their brewery to eat, drink, socialize and take in some live entertainment.

Here's how it works:

· Admission to get into the event is free.

· Get to the brewery early on Saturday morning to increase your chance of getting a wristband. This allows you to buy up to 6 bottles of Darkness upon entry. These special 750 ml bottles are $18 each (cash only).

· If you don't get a wristband you will be able to buy up to 4 bottles at 4 PM while supplies last.

· Make sure you have a valid ID with you. They will check these at the gate.

· Bring plenty of cash so you can purchase a few bottles of Darkness and still have money for drinking on-site (a $4 token gets you a 12 oz. tap at the beer trailer) and for food from the food trucks. Check out the beer and band list here.

· Don't be an idiot, dress for the occasion. This is an outdoor event so come prepared.

If you can you will certainly want to make it over to the Dark Side—the only place in town where you can head bang to heavy metal and wash down a warm Potter's pasty with your favorite Surly brew.
