We’re playing Willy Wonka today and giving away two coveted golden tickets to Three Floyds Brewing Company’s Dark Lord Day 2010. On April 24th, this annual righteous beer fest is the only day of the year to purchase Three Floyds Dark Lord Russian Imperial Stout. Dark Lord Day is like a beer-lover’s Christmas, offering a chance to sample beers from around the world, meet other beer enthusiasts and listen to live music by Battlesnake and Sybaris. The event takes place from 10 am to 8 pm at the Three Floyds Brewery in Munster, Indiana. Though the event is free and open to anyone over 21, only the lucky ticket holders will be able to purchase Dark Lord Stout. Tickets went on sale on March 17 and demand was so high that traffic crashed the ticketing website.

Desperate for tickets? Comment on this post, telling us in a sentence or two why you deserve to go. At 3 p.m., we’ll see how many comments we have; if we have, say, 50 comments, we’ll draw a number between one and 50, and whichever number we pick, that person and a guest will receive the golden tickets. Cheers!

Ed Note: We are checking IP addresses, so don’t even try to enter twice. Also, the winner must pick up the tickets from our Navy Pier studios on Friday before 5pm.
