Our friends in Duluth have a black beer throwdown going on right now. Starting at noon today, the fine folks at Tycoon’s will be pouring sixteen different black beers today. From the sound of it, it’s not only the largest collection of black beers ever assembled in Duluth, but also larger than a couple of respectable black beer events in the Twin Cities.

In any case, if you’re in Duluth check it out. They’re releasing their super-duper-awesome Edmund Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout, a beer which has won gold, silver, and bronze in various years at the Barrel Aged Beer Festival in Chicago.
