Overview

To celebrate their 15th anniversary, 3 Floyds threw an anniversary party. Along with the event 3 Floyds released Baller Stout, a special anniversary beer that's a blend of Surly Darkness, Mikkeller’s Beer Geek Brunch, De Struise’s Black Albert, and their own Dark Lord Imperial Stout. This was a ticketed event with tickets being sold both online and at the brewpub. The event featured guest taps by Surly, Mikkeller, and De Struise, and Pizza Port. Food by chefs Paul Kahan, Justin Large, Mindy Segal, Jonathan Sawyer, and the brewpub's chef, Mike Sheerin. The event also featured multiple bands headlined by the Melvins.

The party was setup similarly to Dark Lord Day 2011, with the bands in the brewhouse, bottle line snaking around the back of the brewery, and the main festival area in the parking lot. However they covered the parking lot with a large tent and setup tables for the event.

Those who arrived early seemed to have a smoother experience, with those arriving later waiting in line over 2 hours to gain entry to the festival. Then another hour of waiting in the bottle line to purchase bottles of Baller Stout. Unlike Dark Lord Day, there were no group sales times. Lines for food were generally quite long as well (30 minutes), but the lines for taps were much shorter.

Event announcement from Three Floyds:

It will be a ticket only event, $25. 2500 tickets will be sold. Tickets will be sold on the internet at a Date To be Announced 700 tickets will be sold at the brewery at a Date To be Announced Pub investors will be given VIP tickets for the event and have a private area to chill in.

Our XV beer is going to be a collaboration between us (USA), Surly (USA), Mikkeller (Denmark), and Struise (Belgium). We are brewing Surly Darkness, Mikkeller’s Beer Geek Brunch, De Struise’s Black Albert, and our Dark Lord Imperial Stout. All these beers will be blended to create our XV beer for maximum ass kickery.

The XV beer will be bottled and sold for $30 per bottle to all those in attendance. The Bottle allotment will be determined when the beer is packaged.

All of the breweries will be represented with their beer and their entourages

There is going to be a live entertainment as well. The line up is yet to be announced, but it will be something special.

There will be 5 world renown chefs from all over the 7 kingdoms. Jonathan Sawyer from The Greenhouse Tavern in Ohio, Paul Kahan and Justin Large from Big Star in Chicago, Mindy Segal from Hot Chocolate in Chicago and our own Mike Sheerin as well as a special guest from Denmark.

All updates will come through the website and subsequently be cross posted to twitter and facebook.
