Festival of Darkness: Zombies From Outer Space
Nighty Night Release Party & Celebration of Dark Beer
Darkness is coming. And with it, one hellacious party!
Our 2024 batch of Nighty Night Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout makes its debut October 26th - and this year's festival is going to be out of this world. The return of our most anticipated, most limited barrel-aged beer deserves a celebration as dark and dank as its rich, boozy body.
As always, Festival of Darkness is the most epic zombie apocalypse-themed party around, but this year we have a subtheme that will send you into orbit - Space. Join us on October 26th as a horde of undead Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena invade the brewery for an interstellar celebration of dark beer, alongside over 30 local and regional breweries and distilleries pouring samples of their selections in our beer garden of darkness, stilt-walking and fire-breathing circus artists, live music, cash prizes for best costumes, and plenty of food and beer.
Let's get celestial, space cadets.
