Join the dark side. They’ve got great beer! No, I haven’t been spending time with Darth Vader and my soul is no more corrupted than usual. In fact, my propensity for darkness helped raise $14,000 for Metro CareRing, a local food pantry, during Wynkoop Brewing Company’s Parade of Darks.

The holiday season is upon us and, once again, we are bombarded with sanguine messages of faith, family, and charity. Bah, humbug! My thoughts turn elsewhere: to commercialism, to estranged relatives forced to be civil at Christmas dinner, to ice-related traffic accidents. Oh, my mind goes to dark places.

Winter was made for the burly man. Men shave less, chop firewood, and drink manly beer when it gets cold. Gone are the months where a nice pint of blonde, pilsner, or hefeweizen would hit the spot; now beer geeks are turning to the dark side: stouts, porters, barleywines and others of that ilk.
