    Won a bottle of the Cherry variant this year, only 160 bottled. Curious if 3floyds has ever bottled anything with a lower number? I see De Muerte was only 165 in 2011

    That is the lowest count Dark Lord, with the exception of that ghost whale 2007 swing top.

    The only beer I know of that is less is Cabrito, 81 bottles. The ba cherry behemoth from 2013 may be lower, but those bottles were not numbered, I think it was in the 150s.

    Sounds like attendance was around 12,000 this year. I think that is around 8,000 Group tickets and 4,000 General Admission tickets. If anyone has anything to add or clarify, that would be helpful.

    With around 5k bottles of variants produced, that would put the chance to win over 50%. The guy handing out golden tickets told me the win percentage was 22% though... So either the number of Group tickets is higher, or the guy was full of shit or they didn't sell all the available variants.

    My money is on not all variants being sold out, I dont think 6k bottles of variants left the grounds.

    How can I post big JPEGs? I've tried several times and it hasn't worked. This was my 7th and I have a lot of cool stuff to post (digital not photos). Someone that knows could send me their address and I will send a .rar of jpeg

    A little late to the party, but to be comprehensive for this time capsule, I also recall having a Black Acre Brewing Ruby Snax as one of the guest taps.

    I sadly wasn't at DLD, but Scarlet Lane Brewing announced on Facebook that they would have a keg of their Eirik Bloodaxe on tap. (source)

    The 750 ml swing top bottles were raffled off in 2006. They contained 2005 BA Dark Lord.

    2015 Golden Ticket

    This is my Group A ticket. Although I think I saw some tickets from other groups and they were different colors? Can anyone confirm this? This might be the first year each group got it's own Golden Ticket design or at least color.

    The tickets this year also had a plastic coating over them, which was good considering the weather. However, it started peeling and bubbling, so I gently peeled it off to take these scans.

    My Group D ticket looks much different than that. Also when CBS kicked it was replaced by Blushing Monk.
