    I also have some space available. I said it earlier in the thread, but if ANYONE needs a place to stay on Friday or Saturday, we have a room booked at the Hampton in Munster (walking distance from FFF) on both nights. We can split the cost (the more people, the cheaper the room!), and I'll share some really excellent beers with ya. Plus lots of high fives

    I haven't had any takers on trading my room at the Hampton Inn for a ticket, so I'll likely be buying a ticket to the festival on Stubhub. If anyone's interested in meeting up at the Hampton on Saturday night, let me know. I'm gonna try to bring some growlers from some of the newer breweries in NJ.

    Def not free. Cheaper than what you would pay at a pub tho. Fire beer. Bring $200+

    Ha! No, there is a number on the ticket and at the time of the picture, I wasn't sure if it was a serial or sensitive number. I don't think it is. But I wasn't taking chances. And those items were on my desk... :slight_smile:

    Yes but to be fair, as far as I know anyway, DLD 2011 was the release of Zombie Dust. My whole group spent most of the day drinking it. Yes we missed out on some great beers, but that day changed my life!

    Go ebay or craigslist dude. Tickets have been as low as $100 on ebay. Stubhub has many offering at $150, you might talk them down if you just send out mass emails. Don't pay any more than that

    If I'm staying at Hampton Inn but want to go into Chicago on Saturday night, what would be my best bet? Is there close public transportation? Any tips?

    This was a good read. It was a full page article in the main section of the Sun Times which is really cool cuz they usually don't put stuff like this in their paper.

    Wow, I really hope I can get a bottle of this. I put Pappy Dark Lord on my list of "Beers I'll Never Get To Try", hopefully I'm wrong!

    Great article btw

    Just read the article. Even though its a pretty small featurette, still cool that this type of thing is getting coverage in a mainstream paper like the Sun Time.

    @Corbet: where you looking to go in the city? Hit me up with a PM and I can probably help ya out.

    Anyone have an extra ticket they would like to sell?!

    Quick question, how is the brewpub on Friday night? We might have some time to head over there around 5 for a beer or two

    Same question here, who has a spare ticket?

    Shame I missed out all three times and there are so many scalpers. Sad face.

    The guest tap list is unbelievably awesome..will the rare stuff be all gone by 9am or will they stagger the "tappings" throughout the day?
