Today is February 4th... Do you know what that means? It means we are 79 days from Dark Lord Day (DLD). For those of you who don't know, DLD is when 3 Floyds releases there Russian Imperial Stout, Dark Lord. Dark Lord currently sits at #11 on BeerAdvocates top 100, but they also do some special Dark Lords (Vanilla Bean Aged and Oak Aged). Vanilla Bean Aged sits at #4 on the list and Oak Aged sits at #16. All three top rated beers are expected to be pouring that day. DLD is also the only day of the year that people can purchase DL in 750 mL wax dipped bottles.
DLD isn't just about the DL though. DLD is a huge festival in which many beer lovers from around the country (even people come from Canada) to share beer and hang out. A lot of people bring beer from their local breweries or bust out some gems from the cellar. People have the opportunity to try many beers they would have never been able to try otherwise.
This is just a little preview, but I will be posting more on the event as time gets closer. However, if you plan on going, I suggest booking a hotel soon.
