Dark Lord Day 2016

I'm trying to arrive between 6-7 so try and find me if you're around. I'll most likely be in Ohio State or Jackie O's stuff with a creepy looking mustache and pretty young. Super impressive lists so far. I can't believe it.
I'm bringing for sure:

Braxton Yesterday's Headlines: Kiiwi
Rhinegeist Peach Dodo
Jackie O's BB Brick Kiln Nuts!
Jackie O's BBCV Dark Apparition

I'm thinking about others as well. That's a start though.

-A bunch of Wicked Weed Sours
-WW French Toast
-WW Dark Age
-multiples of Heady Topper
-Coffee Cinnamon Abominable
-Westbrook Lemon Coconut Weisse Weisse Baby

-KBS
-Veritas 15
-Horals OG Mega Blend '13

-will probably stop in NC on my way and pick up some Hop Drop N Roll and some other NC stuff
-other stuff I'm sure that I am forgetting

According to that page, surly is going to announce what its bringing...not that it will help me get through the guest tap line to get it. Have they announced ahead of time in the past?

 

Dino'Smores is highly sought after here in TX. In fact my buddy who got me into this hobby was begging me to bring him back so Dino'Smores. At this point is not what to bring back to the Lone Star State is more like..... more like How in the F' am I going to bring all of these back hahahal.

I had that Brick Kiln Nuts a few nights ago.... deliiiiiiiiiish. Can't wait to try the rest of their BA stuff.

 

That's one thing I've realized... What we may consider shelfies/baby whales in our areas are liquid gold to others... I'm bringing all Cali stuff HPB, Monkish, Rare Barrel, Bruery, MT, Smog City, blah blah. Haven't totally nailed down my list. Just hoping to share stuff I've loved recently and hoarded. Hoping to trade some pours for all of everyone's local favorites.

 

So how do my friends and I find you lol? We're at the Hampton on Friday and group B. Will be trying to close it down and pacing ourselves. We'll have a ton of Chicago stuff, New Glarus, and a bunch of bigger bottles. Check out my list on the Trading and Sharing sheets, same name.

 

Well, I got word yesterday from an employee at Crooked Stave that they will be pouring 2 beers at DLD. He threw out the names of a handful of beers that they could potentially be bringing but haven't nailed it down quite yet.

 

I have friends renting a spot outside the ticketing area so hopefully I can maybe just lug four bottles while in line for Group A and then stash a bunch more with him that I can retrieve later. So far I have picked out:

Lickinghole Great Commander and Supreme Leader
Hardywood BB Sidamo
BDCS
Astronaut Status
Indiana City Crushin Roulette
Pugachev's Cobra
de Garde Blu Bu

 

I was possibly considering bring several manbearpig bottles.

 

Do it! I'll find a way to track you down haha.

 

Any mention of l'brett d'raspberry?

 

What do guest tickets look like?
My friend say he got a guest ticket.. But his friend has C and he got a guest in D.

Is that possible..? Does anyone have a original and guest pass pic?

 

Guest ticket is identical to to the host ticket. it will have his name on it and say ticket 2 of 2. And it is impossible to have a host and guest ticket in different groups.

 

Fat Head's is not far from 80/90 in Cleveland, and Brew Kettle, too. White Raja!

 

I'm pretty sure they said bottles of that are getting released tomorrow but I don't recall if that was one of the beers they'll be pouring at DLD. I definitely plan on bringing a bottle of that to share. One of the guys I was talking to said it's tasting great right now. Excited to try it.

 

Oh yea, not a huge CS fan but that is one of the best beers ive ever had

 

I'll be bringing a few selections from Canada, including a few smaller Southern Ontario breweries that hopefully some people dig.

 

So, for the no resealable rule. How would that work for say...Utopias?
