A treat (at least for some of us) this week as News & Brews took on the Dark Lord.

This opulent creation from 3 Floyd’s Brewing Co. draws fans from around the U.S. to its Munster, Indiana brewery every May for Dark Lord day, a $180 a ticket annual festival of big beer and heavy metal music.

Managing Editor Mark Somerson generously shared a bomber of the 2018 Dark Lord with the team. Who among us now hail the Dark Lord? Not as many as one might think.

Come for the beer, stay for some Munster history thanks to Munster native and Assistant Managing Editor Eleanor Kennedy.

News updates include the Columbus arrival of Taft’s and a long-awaited taproom from Columbus Brewing Co.
