Dark Lord 2012

It doesn't matter unless you have a time constraint. The sessions are only there to pick up your allotment of DL, and NOT when you are allowed to enter. As long as you have a ticket, you can enter at any time, regardless of your session.

 

Just received my email that tickets have shipped also.

 

More tix this AM. You can do it!!

 

mine did not show today, hopefully tomorrow.

 

looks like their waiting until day of again to set bottle limits.

 

Didn't really read the thread but just had a thought about the special releases this year. Barrel aged Baller stout anyone?

 

Shhhhhh.

 

my tickets arrived today. woo!

 

Getting kinda antsy, here- no word on when mine were/will be shipped.

 

I have heard that a lot of people don't get tickets until really close to DLD. Give it until a week before the event, then give Music Today a call. They should be able to take care of you if you don't get your tickets for whatever reason.


On an unrelated note, how do the Golden Tickets work? Do you get handed a scratch off right before you go to where the Dark Lord is being sold, similar to how XV was? DLD n00b here.

 

yep, pretty much how it works.

 

You hand them you entry ticket, they hand you a golden ticket with a scratch-off portion on it...

 

What was the tap list from last year? does anyone remember? I'm trying to get an idea of what to expect.

 

(Ripped from Hoosier Beer Geek)

Holy. Crap.

I just got 100x more excited. I hope they have more Bourbon County variations this year (doubt they'd have Rare again).

 

Was the Stone BA Smoked Porter ever bottle released??

 

Don't get too excited. Rare was gone in 10 minutes.

 

This was not the case last year. I had Group A tickets and they would only let Group A in at that time allotment. Once you got your DL, they stamped your hand when you left totals the beer to the car and they let us come in and out freely after that. So if it is run like last year, you cannot get in with a ticket unless it is during your assigned group's entry times (or later).

 

was lucky enough to get some of the last pour before the Rare keg kicked. Surly is missing from that list, and a very reliable source told me that there will be kegs of Surly present.
