    They should just do special variants and charge $50. Make sure they are limited to 200 bottles so people feel like they are getting something special. Make 5 variants per year so tickers gone tick. Big dolla signs yo.

    So how early do you guys think I'd have to line up to get a healthy pour of Stealth's homebrew?

    Can I buy pours inside the event with a card or is that cash only too?

    Pours require tickets, which are 5 bucks a pop. The tickets can be purchased with either cash or card inside the gates.

    lol! I ration it pretty well and I'm bringing close to a gallon of it. I'll be sure to save some for you, just tell me you're wardpower so I know, haha. Also bringing a bunch of my sours (kriek, sauv blanc oaked sour blonde aged on golden rains, bourbon barrel sour stout, chardonnay oaked sour blonde, blueberry lambic, etc). Also your Bruery usual suspects (BT, CR, GM, Mash, Arbre Alligator Char)

    Does the bottle share continue inside the event (like Dark Lord Day) - or will any left over beverages need to be left in the car?

    You can't bring in any outside beers, they will make you dump before entry so best to take back to your car before entering at 11. Because both wristbands are given earlier people are able to walk into the event pretty rapidly.

    Per Surly's Facebook, BA darkness will hit distro in December. Bottles vs kegs not specified, but I'd assume there'll be more bottles available...at least I hope, I'm a sucker for the BA version

    Damn... beat me to it.

    I am real sensitive about not being able to grow a beard, it is probably why I am fat.

    I assume they won't be checking bags? Not that I want to smuggle beer in or anything - but I'm not planning to have a car and expect to have multiple beers from a trade in my hiking bag.

    You can have unopened beer in your bag. Should be fine. Just can't open anything. People are walking around with their darkness so fail to see why a backpack of other stuff would be an issue.
