Underdark Release: February 1, 2014 (Intuition Ale Works)

Intuition Ale Works is gearing up for their annual release of Underdark, an Imperial bourbon-barrel aged stout. The release will be on Saturday, February 1, though members of their Mug Club will have the opportunity to buy bottles of Underdark the night before.

Before we get into the details of the event, let's make sure we know what Underdark is...

Legends tell of the Underdark, a vast dark and dangerous place where few brave souls have journeyed, and from which even fewer have returned. Journeying through the unforgiving terrain where cruel creatures lurk within the dark caves is not for the faint of heart, and neither is this drink. It is for the brave who journey fearlessly into the dark void to battle true darkness. Let the mead halls forever echo with the sounds of praise for the warriors who dared travel the Underdark.

Bottles will go on sale at 12pm on Saturday, and Intuition will be shutting down King Street, creating a block party for the event. There is a 2 bottle limit, and sales are cash only ($15/bottle). So, you'll want to arrive early and stop at the ATM on the way.

To make the event even more exciting, Intuition will be serving Underdark on tap along with a limited quantity from last year's batch to allow folks to conduct a side-by-side tasting of the two releases.

There will also be guest beers on tap and local food trucks to keep the party going. Intuition Ale Works is located at 720 King Street. The event is from 12pm-9pm with parking along the street.
