From Against The Grain:
To you the lovely, esteemed, and pleasant smelling members of the press, we have an exciting,
dare I say titillating, announcement. Against The Grain and eight other American breweries have
conspired to produce an event of monumental proportions.
On September 18th, 2015, we will celebrate the first annual national celebration of Swayze
Dayze.
Swayze Dayze is our response to the international event Zwanze Day. Zwanze, is the cult beer-o-
philes dream event, where Belgian brewery Can'tillion releases a once a year, lambic-esque
styled beer (which is probably infected with horse blankets or sumptin) to be consumed at select
bars throughout the world. Having been "fortunate" enough to sample these beers and attend an
event, we feel it necessary to, in American fashion, do it better, faster, and harder and longer and
with hungry eyes. So an event the day before, paying tribute to America's greatest hero, Patrick
Swayze, makes perfect sense. On second thought, it makes no sense other than Swayze sounds
kinda like Zwanze, but I digress. It is our mission to literally roundhouse kickstart the excitement
of a beer nerds event a day early and potentially rip their throat out with a beer that is actually
brewed a short distance from them. This event will take place at an as of yet undetermined
number of at least average or better craft beer centric bars east of the Mississippi River. The event
will feature a very special beer titled Dalton's Kriek that the participating breweries conspired to
produce. You'll have the time of your life...and you'll owe it all to uhhh-ussss!
The following breweries have created a very limited amount of their local iteration of Dalton's
Kriek:
●1 Against The Grain Brewery (Louisvlle, KY)
●2 18th Street Brewery (Gary, IN)
●3 Carton Brewery (Atlantic Highlands, NJ)
●4 4 Hands Brewery (St. Louis, MO)
●5 Central State Brewery (Indianapolis, IN)
●6 Marz Brewery (Chicago, IL)
●7 Edmunds Oast (Charleston, SC)
●8 Trophy Brewing (Raleigh, NC)
●9 Ethereal Brewing (Lexington, KY)
Each brewery has committed to producing a limited amount of its own Dalton's Kriek and will
send small amounts out to select bars of their choosing to feature the beer, along with Swayze-
centric celebrations (pottery, martial arts, dancing, bow-hunting, working on cars and general
awesomeness), all of which to occur on Sept 18th. in your area. For more specific information
about each release, please follow up with each brewery on the list for its specific event info.
