A post-apocalyptic-themed street festival called “Doomsday” is described as “beer, food, vendors, bands and anarchy,” though the latter part will (probably) be pretty well contained. The end-times event fits into pre-Halloween weekend on Saturday, Oct. 27, and was built on the release of a new Lakefront Brewery bourbon-barrel-aged Fuel Cafe imperial coffee stout aptly named Doomsday and made just for this event. The special brew is a celebration of the 20th anniversary of Fuel Cafe’s and Lakefront Brewery’s partnership on a Fuel Cafe Organic Coffee Stout.
“We were really excited to celebrate with a new collaboration,” explains Andy Menchal, director of operations at Fuel Cafe. Dystopian partying was added, because “we thought it fit the boldness of the beer and season; we wanted something fun and loosely Halloween.” Appropriately loud and apocalyptic bands lined up to play the festival include sludge-metal band Northless, Moon Curse, Cashfire Sunset and Tan.
Doomsday takes place at Fuel Cafe, 630 S. Fifth St., noon-6 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 27.
