Dark Lord Day 2021
Date: Package sales October 18th. Pickup dates November 11th-14th.
Overview
On August 25th, 2021. A teaser was posted to social media announcing that details would be coming in late September regarding the 2021 release of Dark Lord. The Dark Lord Day website was also updated with the same information.
On September 30th, 2021, the website was updated with package price & sales date announcement.
This year, as with 2020, will again be a curbside pickup format with no festival being held. Notably the packages include 2 Dark Lord variants this year, as opposed to one. Unlike 2020, proxies are allowed to pickup the packages in 2021.
Variants were announced on October 16th. There was a large reduction in the number of variants this year, down to just 3. However these included both Handjee and Chemtrailmix, which are often considered among the best variants from previous years. The third variant was created in honor of Barnaby Struve, former Brewmaster and Vice President at Three Floyds, who passed away in April 2021.
