Surly Launches Darkness Day 2025 Bottle Presale (Schell’s Collaboration)

It’s time to get in on the 2025 Darkess Day presale from Surly Brewing in Brooklyn Center & Minneapolis, Minnesota:

The Darkness Day 2025 Bottle Presale is live! We have four options to choose from this year, including a collaboration with the legendary Schell’s Brewery!

*Wrath: Three bottles of 2025 Darkness
*Lust: Two bottles of 2025 Darkness + one of each variant (four bottles total)
*Envy: One bottle of 2025 Darkness + one of each variant + one Schell’s collab bottle (four bottles total)
*Gluttony: Two bottles of 2025 Darkness + one of each variant + one Schell’s collab + one bottle of 2021 Barrel-Aged Darkness (six bottles total)

Go to the link below to purchase!

You can pick these up at our Minneapolis Brewery on Darkness Day from 11am-5pm. The variant and collab packages usually sell out before Darkness Day, so we recommend locking them down ASAP. As a reminder, these variants and the collab are only available at Darkness Day. Flavors will be revealed in the coming weeks!

The final Darkness variant flavor can be revealed! Last Friday, Surly and Schell’s tasted through dozens of options before landing on Darkness aged in both Evan Williams bourbon and Tattersall Bitter Orange barrels. We are beyond excited for the rest of you to taste it, too!


You can get this bottle at the Envy level of our Darkness Day bottle presale—the Gluttony level is already sold out. We have less than 100 of these left, so if you want it, go get it. (Reminder that the 2025 Darkness Variants are ONLY available at Darkness Day, either on draft or via the presale.)

About Surly Brewing:

If this town needs a world-class IPA, we make it. If an antiquated law keeps us from selling the beer, we change it. If there’s no place big enough for us to gather together, we build it.

Creating change on that scale within our industry and our community takes an instigator. A touch of mischief, a lack of complacency, and the willingness to say, “Why not?” That’s Surly.

2006
Omar Ansari founded Surly Brewing Co. in a corner of his parents’ small abrasives factory in Brooklyn Center, MN. He decided to open a brewery for a couple good reasons:

1. To create the kind of beer he and other craft beer lovers wanted to drink, and
2. The hope that other adventurous souls would come along for the ride.

His instincts were correct.
 
2014
Surly outgrew Brooklyn Center and we successfully changed the law, allowing us to open our (much larger, much newer) Minneapolis brewery on December 19, 2014. It was immediately apparent that there was unmet demand for a place like this.

As the kegs kicked and we pulled beers right off the canning line to serve the longest, happiest line we’ve ever seen, a new gathering space for our community and a new destination for visitors was established before last call.

Almost a decade later, an entire neighborhood has sprung up around our brewery and beer hall. Welcome to Prospect Park. We can’t wait to see you.
