One of the most underrated brewers in the area, if not the country, is turning 40 years old next week and is celebrating with an epic Dark Humor event.  Back in 2011, Iron HIll Media Brewmaster Bob Barrar traveled up to Ithaca Brewing Co and brewed a collaboration porter that was a version of the famous Iron Hill Pig Iron Porter but doused with Brett.  The beer was a huge success and a favorite amongst many. In honor of the birthday celebration, Bob brewed up a fresh batch of Dark Humor and has been aging it in a bunch of different types of barrels.  The 7 versions of Dark Humor will be available at the Iron HIll Media location on September 27th starting at 5:00.  They will be available on draught and at least some of them in bottles.  Here is the lineup:

  • Vintage March 2011 Dark Humor (brewed at Ithaca)
  • Vintage May 2011 Dark Humor (brewed in Media)
  • Rum Barrel Aged Dark Humor
  • Bourbon Barrel Aged Dark Humor
  • Sherry Barrel Aged Dark Humor
  • Tawny Port Barrel Aged Dark Humor
  • Ruby Port Barrel Aged Dark Humor
